Overheating issues with AMD Processor

My Computer is overheating and using a lot of resources while I am playing Apex Legends for 10-15 minutes. I can run games such as GTA 5 without an issue or using so much resources which confuses me. I am not sure if it is the software, game, or if I need a better cooling system for my PC.

I am also running Amd Radeon version 19.2.1 the latest version.

My graphics chipset is Radeon RX 580 series, it is a year or two dated now, but it is a good high-end PC.

  • Its probably because game is using integrated GPU thats on your processor as default instead of your proper dedicated one. Ive never had AMD card but I assume its same as with Nvidia - you have to force the game to run it on your Dedicated GPU via Control Panel or something like that.
