High CPU Temperature with low usage

I think there is some systems this affects and others that run just fine.. I'm seeing 100C from time to time on i7 12700K with a AIO 

None of my other games, BF4, Ghost Recon, etc., are seeing these kinds of temps.

This is making the beta very hard to play for any length of time. 

Just sayin'

That's a wild statement when that is generally not the issue. I have a Noctua NH-D15 cpu cooler, two radiators and 2 180mm fans and i still have thermal throttling problems only with your beta. And lets me honest, every battlefield game when it comes i always has **bleep** poor performance for CPU's always has and its cool to see that that wont change from your company. 

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).

These instructions cause a CPU to heat up quite a bit. Some motherboards have an AVX Offset setting which automatically downclocks the CPU during AVX calculations to reduce CPU temperatures.

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

This is not a hardware issue, I have a 4090 and i9 13900KF cpu.

This is the first game so far that has restarted my pc from cpu overheating, I had to do a workaround to limit the game to use 4 cores, and temperatures dropped from 86 average to 65 average with no performance loss. Insane how poorly optimized this game is, but it is making the cpu go insane.

It doesn't happen to everyone, my friends play fine, but I am not despite having the same hardware, and a lot of people on the internet are having the same issue, this is the solution:

Create a file named user.cfg, open it with notepad (or create a notepad file and save it with that name), put this inside the file

Thread.ProcessorCount 4

Thread.MaxProcessorCount 4 

Then save it in your main game folder (SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Glacier Events)

This will fix your CPU being overused by the game, you can change the number of cores to improve performance, personally I see no performance downgrade with 4 cores, except I can play above 60 fps without having my PC melt down, before I had to limit my fps to 60 otherwise my PC would overheat and crash.

No other game causes this for me, and I play UE5 games in VR with UEVR at 4x their normal resolution 2x for each eye, don't tell people it's a hardware issue because something is really wrong here.
