Menu's more intensive than the game itself, seeing higher temps, especially cpu

I'm having the exact same problem.  In the menus my cpu temps are through the roof... I game all day every day. No game puts my cpu temp this high.  Just the menus alone my cpu is 15 degrees hotter than any other games.  At max load my cpu is usually around 60 degrees.  I'm hitting 75 degrees in the menus alone.  During gameplay its fine... but before game and after game screens my system panics.  I'm using an i7 8700k, liquid cooled, everything is up to date.  No temp problems with any other game... not even close.
