@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 ?

Cheers

Only thing running is the game, AIO sftware, and hwmonitor or openhw monitor; like I said this ONLY occurs with BF 2042.

I can run any other game (including Cyberpunk 2077, ArmA 3, AC Valhalla, Ghost Recon Wildlands, HALO Infinite, WH 40K: Dark Tide, GTA V, CoD Warzones 2.0) for hours with temps maxing out at 78C on my i9 10920X@stock settings with XMP on 360mm AIO, 75C on my i7 10700KF@stock/XMP/280mm AIO vs 88C with BF 2042, 78C vs 89C on my i7 920@3.842Ghz RAM@1444Mhz with Hyper212 EVO. Cycling GPUs not much effect; Nvidia or AMD no real difference.

    Battlefield uses AVX which causes high CPU temperatures. The processor frequency will downclock if an AVX offset is set in the motherboard's bios.

    That's why there's an AVX offset in bios to auto downclock CPUs and keep them from overheating when AVX is in use.

    How do you set a proper offset for Battlefield 2042? I have a ROG Z690 Maximus Hero and when I go to the AVX offset settings it says User defined.....

    @BearWitness79 got high temps ? may maunal downgrade turbo (mhz settings for about 200mhz)
    Ya could also downgrade vcore (fixed vcore settings at 1.29 <-- check for motherboard/cpu settings first).

    Temps will go down by +/- 10/15

    Cheers

    ps make sure youre fans/aio is doing his job, some system are able to run at PERFORMANCE mode.
    Check if youre system support this to !!!
