Time to get the dust out of it ?
Better CPU hardware needed ?
Make sure PC can inhaust / exhaust enough air !! So hot air doesnt get recycled back into youre pc case !!!!

To be honest, this sounds like malfunctioning cooling, no proper airflow, or an overclock profile issue.
- bohemond19803 years agoSeasoned Traveler@EA_Leeuw False. All CPUs operate well within parameters with all other games/workloads; only BF 2042 causes this.
The fact it is occurring on multiple PCs with AIOs makes it pretty clear this is something to do with the game and how it needlessly maxes all cores regardless of how many there are. This issue has been going on for users since the game launched.

The real sensing test is the fact that NO other games do this on any of these PCs; GTA V/RDR2/AC Valhalla/Watchdogs 3/Call of Duty Warzones etc. ad nauseum; making it clear that this is an issue on EA's end.- EA_Leeuw3 years ago

A higher CPU load doesn't have to mean that your CPU also gets hotter, it doesn't exactly work like that, unfortunately.
Example; when I run BF2042 on Ultra settings (with a res of 3440x1440) on my personal rig with an RTX 4080 and i9-9900k, my CPU utilization for BF2042 alone hovers between 75% and 85%, with an average CPU temp of about 68c - 75c (cooler being used here is the Noctua NH-D15).
It's never possible for BF2042 alone to take up an actual 100% of the CPU, otherwise, your PC wouldn't be able to function anymore.
Sure, you might see a total CPU usage of 100% with all processes combined, but that also depends on if there are any background tasks etc. that require some CPU power.
If you're experiencing a constant 100% CPU utilization, I would recommend taking a look at these threads:
Constant 100% CPU utilization since Season 3 update
Game continues to use 100% CPU since Season 3 update, now in Season 4
Game continues to use 100% CPU since Season 3 update, now in Season 5Hope this helps.

Hi,
I have Lian Li razer Edition Case 9 Lian Li fans and watter cooler Lian Li
3 fans inhaust and 6 exhaust
The only game cpu get hot is Battefield
- 12 months ago
I have a well-ventilated Lian Li case with 10 SL120 fans and a ROG Ryujin 360 AIO cooler for my Intel i7-13700K.
For context, I play all sorts of games at max settings, and my CPU temps never exceed 62°C. However, with Battlefield 2042, my temps spike to 75-80°C. This seems abnormal, and I’m convinced it’s an issue specific to this game.
Does anyone have any workarounds that don’t involve downclocking the CPU? My CPU is currently running at stock settings.

@lgfpf depends on what system specs ya got.
Post dxdiag , also dont forget that 13th gen is running hot straight out of the box with games as bf2042.
What temps are in youre envoriment at this moment ? Do ya set manual rpm for fans ?
If ya are on an ASUS board , then ya probarly need to do an bios update for the INTEL settings so voltages,watts and ampere arent set to "unlimited" for the 13th and 14th gen CPU's. <-- bad cpu batches , high temps , ect ect , check youtube for Gamers Nexus, Jayztwocents and Wendel tech1 about this worldwide issue 😉
Update us please ! Cheersps Intel is planning an microcode update for those cpu's , that will be related in platform brand bios updates +/- half august
