[WoW] [HELP]CPU Overloading

Hi all...

I am in a need of several more opinions regarding my dualboxing problem. I recently gotten interested again at dual boxing, so gave it another go at it again. But I ran into a strange problem that I previously never had the problem with. After loading up the game, after X amount of time (I mention X because its random...) my CPU decided to throw a fit, causing either my first or 2nd slot character's 1 CPU to become 95% CPU load meanwhile the rest of the CPU core stays at 5-10% load. And during this time, framerate will drop to 10fps.

My initial suspect will be my RAMs, cos I only have 3GB DDR3 running on triple channel. But I am entirely unsure. Anyways below are my specs:

CPU: Intel i7 930
Mobo: Asus ROG Rampage Extreme III
RAM: Corsair 3GB DDR3 Triple Channel
HDD: 128GB SSD
GPU: GTX460 SLi

Anyone can point me in the right direction regarding this? Thanks much appreciated.

If you actually have SLI enabled you most likely want to turn this off while multiboxing as it usually only causes problems. Also, make sure
that you're not exceeding the VRAM on that GPU. You can use a free program like GPU-Z to see what your VRAM usage is.

You're saying it's a specific CPU core, not a specific game instance process? The task manager should show what process is hammering the CPU, it might not even be the game...?

And whether the second GPU is idle.

I took your both advice by turning off the SLI mode, but my problem still the same.

I have included the screenshot of my resource monitor when the problem happens...

I had a similar problem which I traced to the graphics card. What graphics card and driver are you using? If you have the "latest" driver, you might roll back a few generations and see if the behavior changes.

You can also change the CPU core preference by clicking the character set (top window), then Slots/<number> and see if that helps. I'd set them all to all CPU cores as a experiment.
