High CPU Temperature with low usage

you do not play on pc and you have no idea about anything pc gaming related, delete your account please :) 

If anything you dont know what your talking about. Dont blame the game if your crappy cheap pc cant run it.

Great response Barry.

It's a hardware issue in the sense that when your CPU is stressed, it's up to your hardware to to mitigate that. However my own observations and many reports I'm seeing are that this game is stressing your CPU unlike other titles, whether through thread mismanagement/optimization issues/new anticheat..unclear. 

doing some other digging, this isn't BF6 specific, someone ran tests with BF2042 and were getting really high temps on steam: 

Other games: 50 degrees
Prime 95: 68 degrees
BF 2042: 82 degrees

Here's something posted on reddit people can try which worked for me last night; dropped my temps from 86 to 78.  I didn't notice an FPS impact, but I didn't specifically measure it pre and post, only the temps. Give it a try, if it doesn't work - delete the file. 

===========

if you're using steam, the folder to place the user.cfg file in is >Games>Steam>Steamapps>common>Glacier Events

(unless you modified your install of course)

Drops the temps by 10-20degrees back to normal running 240fps still

Steps to create the file to add to the folder:
Open note pad>
paste the following:
Thread.ProcessorCount 4

Thread.MaxProcessorCount 4

save the notepad as a file named 'user.cfg'

copy the user.cfg file you created> paste the user.cfg file into the folder "glacier events"

I have a 4090 and a full custom water loop. I am reaching temps on my CPU and GPU of nearly 100c. Ive been building pcs for 30 years. My system has never gone above 60c. This IS NOT a hardware issue. There is something seriously wrong with the game.

Such an amazing answer from a CM...
I have a perfect airflow with 3 extract and 3 intakes, a double cpu fan that do a very good job and i'm reaching 100° peeks playing BF6.
I ran some benchmarks, some other games and didn't got any peeks above 85°...
Something is very wrong with the game to reach such high temperatures, and answering "it's your fault" when people give you feeback is crazy stupid.
The game is promising, you guys seem to be listening to your community, don't **bleep** it up on something so goddamn important

I havving the same issue with temps often going between ~75-88c and occasionally peaking to 95c. New build just few weeks ago with an i9 1400k, corsair icue link titan 360 cooler, 5070ti. 

My CPU temp gets really high just for being in the menu's.
I have an AMD Ryzen 7 2700x with a fan cooler so yes not the best cooling, but really high temps like that just for staying in a menu is pretty strange (70 - 80 degrees celsius).

Reapply thermal paste. Im running a 5080 9800x3d and dont go above 60on the cpu and gpu. My cpu and gpu are also overclocked and im using a 360mm aio

i got a whole watercooled system ontop of a fan mount under my computer and people out here saying its our hardware smh. #savetheintelusers

A stock 14900K draws on average 170w in this game. 14900K is notoriously hot while OP's 5600x is super cool and cozy. This is a hardware issue even though the game runs things harder than many other games.
Unless your cores are pegged at 100%, you can safely disable SMT or Hyperthreading without loosing performance as a quick fix. On a 14900k, you drop as much as 60w by doing this. Or use Process Lasso to do this.
