Before playing the sims 4, my GPU is 135.0 and my maximum my CPU goes is 2494. After opening the sims 4 my GPU keeps jumping up to 1073.8 but over time it goes down. My CPU stays mostly the same.
@limitedvaeh These are not valid values for temperature. Are you actually seeing those numbers, or are you looking at different readings?

Im honestly not for sure but im looking at where it says GPU and it has NVIDIA under "current clocks"

@limitedvaeh When you open hwinfo, choose Sensors Only, then scroll to the GPU section. Look for an icon that looks like an old-school thermometer; the unit will show as º, as in, degrees. The value should be around 35-50º C without Sims 4 open.
The CPU temperatures will be by core, as in, each core will have its own reading. They'll have the same icon. If you don't see them, expand each section until you find them.

@limitedvaeh Okay, I'd like the full hwinfo log then. Restart your computer, open hwinfo, choose Sensors Only, and click the button that's a sheet of paper with a + to start logging. Save the log file to your desktop for easy access. Wait five minutes, then open Sims 4 and play until your computer shuts down. Don't alt-tab out of the game or run any other programs, aside from the EA App of course, while you're testing. After you restart the computer, the log should be intact up until the shutdown.
Please upload the log to the third-party filesharing site of your choice (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.) and link it for me. Either leave it in .csv format or, if you're going to use OneDrive, create a .zip file, and don't open the log before uploading it, or else my log reader might not be able to interpret it.
