EA_Barry is correct. This is a CPU cooling issue. Battlefield's Frostbite game engine uses SIMD (Single instruction, multiple data) CPU instruction set extentions, specifically AVX2 (Advanced Vector Extensions 2).

Regardless, if the CPU is overheating it's due to the CPU cooler not being able to keep up.
