I'm getting the CPU occupancy warning again (happened last summer too). From a quick search it seems to be an error specific to AC, and it happens when the PHY stat (physics engine?) in Render Stats is >100%. This can be seen in my screenshot here.

But if I look at my Resource Monitor and NZXT monitor it shows low processor usage, low temp, low clock speed.
Is it possible AC is mislead to believe my CPU is choking? Or are the monitors not showing me the relevant performance metrics? Or (most likely) do I have no idea what I'm talking about?
One thing to note is that this is a summertime problem for me, when my room temps are 24C. The rest of the year my room is 18-22C and I don't get this warning. That seems to support the diagnosis of a temp issue but then why isn't NZXT showing that? And why is Resource Monitor showing all cores at 25% usage? What does 'usage' mean?
If my CPU really is overheating what's the best way to cool it? I have i7 7700 running on the stock Intel cooler, a GTX1060-3GB and 16GB RAM. no case fan that I'm aware of.
