100% CPU usage leads to overheating

When playing Apex the game is using 100% of my cpu (Intel i7-9700K) and it´s causing it to overheat pretty quickly. This problem has been around since 2019 and there is still no fix to it. I tried reinstalling the game, setting the affinity and many other ways to fix this but nothing helped.

@respawn pls fix your game. I´m starting to believe that you guys can´t actually code and optimise a game and insted just copy paste.

    @nzuHaMmEr 

    A PC should be able to run at 100% CPU usage all day. 

    Until you resolve your cooling hardware issue, reducing the in-game graphics settings should reduce the CPU load.

    Thanks.

  • yes, with other games that is the case. But not with Apex. For some stupid reason the game is causing the cpu to overheat. Valorant is also using 100% cpu but it´s nowhere close to overheating. So this is clearly not a cooling hardware issue.

    btw. my graphic settings are at the lowest and it´s still using 100%.
