Hi,
I have the exact same problem. My CPU usage isn't that high, but the temperatures are skyrocketing, almost reaching 100°C.
The problem seems to occur only in the in-game menus for me.
For example, when I'm playing Moments mode, after failing or finishing a moment and the menu pops up, the temperature rises instantly. The same thing happens in Division Rivals when pressing the pause button.
The CPU temps aren't high at all during actual gameplay; it seems like the menus are consuming a lot more resources than the gameplay itself.
I have an i9-9900KF and a 2080Ti, and no other game causes the same issue with my computer.
I can tell that the menus are part of the problem because when I'm watching a video or a stream on my second monitor, pressing pause or navigating in certain menus (not the marketplace, SBC, etc., only the menus that appear with a 3D background/players/etc.) causes the stream or video to lag and stutter. At that moment, I notice the CPU temperature reaching 100°C.
Once the game resumes, everything returns to normal — the video or stream stops lagging, and the CPU temps go back to normal.
For context, I just changed my thermal paste tonight, but it didn't solve the issue.
Hoping for a fix soon.
