Freshly installed arch cpu spikes

Hi, I've switched from manjaro after it kept freezing, but I still have the same problem. I have a windows dual booted and that works fine so I don't think that it could be hardware issue. It only happens after boot up and lasts for a few days, if I don't turn off my pc then it stops. Is it somehow possible to figure out what causes it?
My kernel version:  6.2.8-arch1-1 (64-bit)
KDE plasma: 5.27.3
Cpu:  6 × Intel® Core™ i5-9600K CPU @ 3.70GHz

Figure what? "CPU spikes"?
How about top?

If I should blindly guess from the vague description of symptom-like things in your post: probably some file indexer, baloo in case of KDE.

I disabled baloo, did a reboot and it seems much better thanks.
Also can I have any problems by disabling baloo?

See this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Baloo
It is just the file searching feature of kde. I never had an issue without it.
