it happens to me as well with the same processor

add more fans

This game is CPU intensive so it uses your CPU, your cooling solution is bad, need to improve it. It has nothing to do with the game, the game is just asking your CPU to process stuff but your cooling solution cant handle it. You should be able to utilize your CPU 100% for hours and have zero issues.

Be precicse about hot how many degress exactly?

ok guys the question is we all played EA, do you guys feel that the game is more system demanding when compared to EA?

The paste is NOT GOOD. Just switched mine out like 3 days ago and cruising along at 56C in the cpu in the game.

It seems that in game frame cap does not reduce GPU power draw. Using nvidia driver fps limiter improved my thermals. You might want to try that.

Congratulations genius. You should run your own toy store.

Definitely. During EA my GPU ran at 60-63 celcius, whereas now it runs at 70-72 when outdoors, however the quality of the image generated hasn't improved in my opinion. Curious that Nvidia haven't released new drivers yet. They probably were going to release them month later, post game relese date initially provided by Larian.

No matter what, full screen with V sync on is necessary.

Long story short: there is only so much you can do.

Some game engines are... coded unfortunate, so even if you turn down lots of settings, the demand remain high, regardless of what is to be seen on the screen or not.

Therefore the best approach is - in addition to trying basics like capping FPS, turning off shadows and blooms - ramp up your fan speed, as the default settings often cannot keep up with the game's engines bad coding.

Naturally that has not to apply to everyone due to each own personal circumstances, as environmental temperature, PC setup, etc.

Or just lower the graphics settings, so it will be less power demanding on your system. :)

What is "extremely" hot? And how are you cooling? Do you use (AIO) watercooling or only fans?

I had this issue to the point that my computer shut down. This is the ONLY game that this happens with, and after some Google searches I found the suggestion of capping frames. I set this to 90 or 100 (I forget offhand) and the game runs about 20 degrees C cooler now. That's the only change. So is it a hardware issue? I guess my cooling can't keep up with infinite frames, so maybe so. But the solution was in-game.
