Why does my CPU run at 100 all the time?
If the CPU usage is around 100%, this means that your computer is trying to do more work than it has the capacity for. This is usually OK, but it means that programs may slow down a little. If things get too slow, try restarting the computer. The memory shown in the Resources tab is system memory (also called RAM).
Is 100 degrees bad for cpu?
However, typically anything over 80 degrees, is very dangerous for a CPU. 100 degrees is boiling point, and given this, you will want the temperature of your CPU to be significantly lower than this. The lower the temperature, the better your PC and its components will run overall.

Is the CPU always running at full speed?
The usage is pretty much constant all the time. Below you can find screenshots from task manager, resource monitor and process explorer. In the past I’ve never seen this, leaving the PC idle dropped the usage down to almost zero, now the CPU is running at full clock 24/7, heating it up ~55C, which is mildly undesirable.
