i7 7820x and strix x299 cpu usage

my cpu i7 7820x and strix x299 have worked superb for 2-3 months, then bios 08.02 (07.02) happen wich had a cpu p-state and micro code enhancements. but since then my cpu has some usage troubles, sometimes out of the blue the cpu usage jumps to 100% for a couple of seconds as shown here in msi afterburner https://imgur.com/a/BMq for no apparent reason, and nothing heavy usage seen in task manager but maybe im looking the wrong place. i have now rolled back to bios 05.03 and reformat windows and it worked somewhat, for 5 days and now the problem slowly creeps back.

If the problem still persists after flashing back to a previous BIOS revision, I would expect the issue to be something else.

After your fresh installation of Windows, which drivers and programs did you install?

First thing to do would be to look at what process is loading up the CPU to that degree.
13900KS / 8000 CAS36 / ROG APEX Z790 / ROG TUF RTX 4090

intel turbo 3.0 looks to be the culprit
