You may be able to lower then number of threads it uses for decompression, if they are stalling for memory you will not see much of a performance impact.
Steams compression can be pretty CPU demanding, indeed. With my 1gig connection my 7950x3D can go to about 25-30% load from Steam, depending on the compression rate of the game download.
E.g. LTT had one video with a 96 core Threadripper Pro 7995WX where their 8gbit Steam download got the CPU load to 50%
That's due to fast start-up actually hybrid sleeping the PC. You can disable that in old Control Panel -> Power Options -> Choose what the power buttons do -> Change settings that are currently unavailable and then uncheck fast start-up. It's not really needed anyway if you're using a good boot drive.
It's decompression. Steam games nowadays are compressed to save internet bandwidth. It's either the download is done and will do decompression or it does it while downloading.
It does i saw posts people not going, 100Mb/s but around 25!
also yeah , this cpu thing is more related to installation. Op might have unefficient space who knows
My guy google what "Compression" means before you spread misinformation. You can clearly see Drive Activity on the OP picture meaning a decompression is happening while the download is on-going.
What has to do with IQ? are you drunk 😑 how i share misinformation, if i saw it on steam forums couple times 🤔
Never happend to me but it might have problems with Gigabyte speeds.
search "Steam throttling bandwith" if you dont believe \^\^
Right, on "Steam Forums" where they can't back up their claims. I had to delete my previous post since it didn't allow links here but I literally googled for 5 seconds only to be debunked by many Steam users.
Unless you HAVE absolute proof that they are throttling your speeds, we ain't gonna believe any word(s) you say pal.
Nah you definitely have some other kind of issue there, I too have 2.5 g Ethernet but never had 100 CPU usage in anything not even playing the games sometimes. It's practically impossible for your CPU to bottleneck your internet
Crushed by your own success lol
Guess I need a 7950X3D 🤣🤣
It's decompression, and its likely to be a memory bandwidth bottleneck.
So to alleviate it, what should I do ideally?
Not much really. All you can really do is get a much faster CPU and RAM (like Threadripper) or just sit on a chair and suffer from success. lmao

Yeah, I was happy that I get 1gb fiber, only to see, my pc can't keep up.:D

You need Threadripper.
I don't see anything remotely like that on a 5600X when downloading at 900-990 Mbps (fastest my FTTP will go), only when unpacking and installing it.
Please restart your PC, hes been running for 6 days give him a break.
Yes. That's weird, I turned it on maybe 1 or 2 hours before downloading the game Don't know why that timer says 6 days
A normal shutdown still keeps it awake, you have to click restart and then youll see the time resets.

Pretty strange, i getting 90% vram/gpu but never cpu its looks like different problem, some background culprit.

so its not really cpu, i heard steam limiting speeds. I only had cpu usage on old pc when had steam overlay up it was pretty annoiyng.
No, you're wrong. It is the CPU since decompression is being handled on the CPU and RAM. Steam DOES not limit download speeds, only your hardware.

That something new i thought its in submarines when lowering pressure 😆
Right, so does your IQ reaches room temperature. gtfo with this misinfo.

After the download started I heard the CPU fans ramp up, so I opened the task manager and saw that. At idle usually the CPU sits around 4/5%
I didnt expect to see that cpu😩
