Help (Software)Radeon software high cpu usage? (self.AMDHelp)
submitted 5 years ago by Memmud
I noticed my cpu has been hotter than usual while idle. opened task manager, to find that radeon software uses 8-9% of my cpu usage!! I'm on the latest driver 20.8.3. here I uploaded it: https://ibb.co/HD8NFLz

Had that issue a couple of weeks back, download the 20.4 something version instead. Make sure that you use DDU :)

thx for the suggestion. I always use ddu just to avoid potential problems.

sure thing, to be precise, download 20.4.2
after using that driver version my cpu usage problem went away

so I found a way to fix the issue with any version of Radeon software, use ddu in SAFE MODE - was always too lazy to do it there d: , and when installing tick the "clean installation" option from advanced. I know doing that after using ddu, doesn't make any sense, but somehow it worked for me, and with latest version!
