I noticed that BF2042 is not optimized for high fps , and consumes the same amount of resources as if In-game while being on the menu. also if you don't lock the fps it doesn't get limited at your screen max fps , instead it runs ur hardware at max and delivers whatever it can.
also the FPS canno't be locked in borderless mode and you have to be using fullscreen mode.
so you need (full screen + turn on dynamic resolution + turn on V-sync or G-sync and lower the fps everytime u get off a game until u start again) otherwise the gpu is gonna be constantly overloaded even in menu which will make it overheat as you play
Of course the other solution is to lower the fps and pretend that you're playing on a playstation 3.
Ohh no it's not related to cooling I'm just gaming at 120FPS and when you are in the main menu the game will consume the max amount of resources from GPU and CPU , then as soon as the game actually starts then the gpu consumption goes down from being constantly at 100% to about 70% when gaming
(100% Usage In menu) / (50-70% Usage In game and no heating )
some people got issues with cpu usage !
a howto movie about user.cfg
do not use the max cores you got, if ya got an 8 core cpu then use about 5 a 6 cores for game , others are for system !
Any questions? ask them !
test it with the ammount of cores, depends on cpu, some could use a higher number others need to lower that number !!!
