@PurpleYet1 bf1 is not bf2042.
It can be multiple things that sky rocks temps from youre cpu !
How many processes are running in the background ?
Did OC any hardware ? cpu / gpu / memory ?
When did ya clean pc case internal from all the dust ? is it dust free?
Any tool thats not correclty cfg for fan speeds at certain temps ??

what troubleshoot did ya do already ?

I'm running no substantial processes in the background.

I'm not overclocking anything.

I just cleaned my PC case as a troubleshooting method.

I have cfg all fan speeds that I can (corsair LL120, Kraken Z63, 3080)

The other troubleshooting method I was doing was putting a User.cfg file with these lines in it:

Thread.ProcessorCount 10 Thread.MaxProcessorCount 10 Thread.MinFreeProcessorCount 0 Thread.JobThreadPriority 0 GstRender.Thread.MaxProcessorCount 20

to try to lower the CPU usage percentage, but sadly it only lowered temps by around 3C

I can't really find any actual help besides "your PC cooling sucks", even though all seven fans, including AIO, work to cool my PC amazing in any other game.

Thank you for atleast caring.

    @PurpleYet1 Is the cpu block correctly attached to the cpu ?
    Didnt use enough paste ? <-- or to much ???
    If ya set CPU fan(s) speed to max speed , ya hear it run at max speed ?
    The PUMP speed is set correctly with 3rd party tool and/or in BIOS settings ? Connected to the correct PWM/CPU/PUMP headers ??

    Update us please !

    It was the AIO fans! There was an extra performance setting and now Im getting 70C temps!

    Words can't describe how grateful I am right now. Thank you, and have an awesome day/night!
