cpu stress and softsynths

[Anonatron]

HI. Ive got a ryzen 7 5800 32gb ram and using ableton. one instance of hive2 running and most patches are 25-30% and some even higher, also same on phase plant. Im pretty sure my hardware should be coping better, or should i be looking at a settings issue.Any help is appreciated

I do not know, but...
-Try higher ASIO buffer
-Update to the latest motherboard BIOS
-Update to the latest chipset driver

- Check if MCLK/FCLK/UCLK is the same frequency

What sample rate you running at? what buffer settings? which Live version and which Hive version?

44khz 16bit. 512 samples using asio4all. live 11 and not sure exactly the hive version other than its 2. away from my pc at the moment so cant check.

Also the motherboard bios and chipset are both upto date

The most recent Hive (2.1) is significantly optimized. Simple presets use maybe half the cpu because any unused modules are no longer calculated.

But even with Hive 2.0, that seems like too much CPU for those settings. Do you have another DAW to try?
