CPU temp and/stress problems
I'm experiencing massive CPU use and temperature spikes when playing most Frostbite engine games. When I run games on the Frostbite engine, my CPU use almost immediately throttles to 100% or near it...
Your PC should be able to run at 100% load on the CPU and GPU without a temperature issue.
There are two ways to reduce temps at 100% load, improve the cooling solution and/or reduce clock speeds.
The fact you have lots of RAM, a fast SSD and a good GPU means that your CPU is getting worked hard.
While your CPU is no slouch, it is potentially the weak link in the chain.
So I guess that presents a third possibility - CPU upgrade?
