Community ManagerTo be honest, this sounds like malfunctioning cooling, no proper airflow, or an overclock profile issue.

Ah, I already had the feeling that you would share this tweet. 🙂
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 5
Hope this helps.
When I play bf2042 my cpu reaches temps of 90C even on the lowest settings possible. This never happens on other games. I have a i9 10900k, a 3080, and a kraken z53 aio cooler. Is there actually any answer other than "were working on it". I run bf1 on the highest setting and only reach temps up to 70C.
