WoW is eating my CPU

[Azucar]

since a few hours ago wow has been just devouring my cpu and its not even honor buddy. It is high without it I don't know what could have possibly went wrong within those few hours.

it was pretty damn high earlier (25%cpu & over 1gb Memory) but I turned off zygor guides since I did notice it was using to much addon memory.

but still at this rate I wont even be able to have 3 WoWs open like usual. Anything I could do to help this? I has 8gigs of ram.

Well, can't help u with ur problem, but 7 wow's on a i5-2500k with 8gb ram no problem.

yea man idk wow can hog mem, but you should be able to run atleast 5 wows with your setup.


i got a cheap card with 8gram+amd bulldozer 8 core cpu.


only thing that i have had clog my computer is google chromes endles webpage glitch openeding 100-200 web pages wiout tabs so it would crash my internet.

^ has no relavence sry but anyway, you can try to reinstall wow if the problem presists or shut off all addons and one by one turn em back on to see if it wasan addon issue

Soz but whats that bs about a better cpu?

Wow is known to do this, the official forums point out various reasons for this. Cant say what it is in your case.

Playing on a quadcore with 8 gb ram and 2 gb vid.

Thats idle and on medium settings. Have half on low since i dont need to get blind by all the effects blizz
values so much.

Maybe its indeed a addon, turn em all off and then on one by one.

Might check the forums as well.

Defrag your pc
And if you got an ram optimizer orso delete that.
It will make your pc a bit fastee but after a longer use it will replace tons of things.
Had the same problem a few weeks ago
Also a simpele restart (shut pc normal down->wait 10sec after is shutdown -> start your pc) could also help
And a virusscan never does any harm
