Cpu temperature problem

[MauryRedfield]

I have the game everything on high, but I deactivated some options that made it use more cpu, I also already compiled 100% the shaders. The game runs between 60 to 90 fps which is fine. But it is using 100% of the CPU making my temperatures between 88 to 95°C. Any advice to lower the temperatures? (I have a stock heatsink- yes, I know I have to buy a more powerful one) but it is still strange that it is using 98% of the cpu.

my pc specs are these:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600x (3700-4600 GHz)
RAM: Kingston HyperX FURY Black DDR4 16GB (3200MHz) x2
GPU: EVGA Geforce RTX 3060 XC 12gb

It's not hate, the game is well done: D I waited so long for it to come to PC, I even finished it getting platinum on ps3 and ps4 XD

UPDATE:

I bought the NZXT Kraken X53, now my temperature without doing anything is 33°C and playing The Last of Us is 60 to 70°C depending on the map, also the cpu is no longer at 100% use, at most It is at 70%. That thanks for answering and buy a good heatsink :D

lower the voltage and the ghz does not work, it still uses 100% and reaches 88 to 95 ° C. I'll still buy a new heatsink, thanks for answering

That's false. Undervolting means that the CPU is limited to a certain threshold= CPU use less wattage = less heat generated = less heat to displace.
If a CPU overheats at 100% load, the cooling solution is insufficient. The solution to that is either to get a better CPU cooler, or undervolt the CPU.

Yeah a lot of you guys are missing the point. GPU is fine at 100%. The more its being used the better.

CPU at 100% on all 8 cores of my 9700k while playing a video game? Thats ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nuts, and is definitely an issue. Especially in a linear single player game that shouldnt constantly be streaming in new assets and characters. This is a video game, not a stress test. Ive literally never seen a game hammer my CPU as hard as this game. Even Spiderman with all RT effects would only peak at about 80% usage, but never once would I see 8 cores locked at full utilization. It causes massive stuttering, regardless of the actual framerate, and feels choppy as hell to play.

You have a 3060 you need to run fans faster than stock thats all.Many apps can do that for you.Grab MSI Afterburner and make a fan profile that actually cools your pc youll figure it out fast its easy.If you need any help add me and ill help you set it up.

It's not a problem with the gpu temperature (it's at 80°C with high graphics, that is normal). The problem is the temperature of the cpu, but I will buy a water colling and I will update the temperatures that it will have

If you reach 95C under load, then you don't have proper cooling. And I'm not saying it's your fault, the stock coolers often don't cool well enough. But, 95C is too hot.

95 degress is within AMD spec for there cpu's though and ive seen 5000 and 7000 series cpu keep boosting to that point. WE might not want our cpu to be that hot but its well within amd recomendations though

And how about any neighboring components on your board next to this white-hot CPU? A manufacturer may say something is within spec that's a terrible idea for longevity of your system, and there could be many reasons for this, including they're assumption many enthusiasts will use third-party coolers to get temps down.

I could redline my car through every gear and it would be 'within spec,' that doesn't mean I'm not unnecessarily shortening the life of my hardware and potentially causing other problems. 95 Celsius is too hot, it indicates neighboring hardware on your board without the benefit of heatsinks is probably also overheating.

I'm also running a 5600X on this game. The CPU usage is high but my temps never going above 62 degrees using a 360mm AIO.

Can't remember what heatsink and fan I have but its huge and still my cpu runs at 100% 100c and eventually shuts down.
Its not the users issue its the game optimization thats bad,

Wonder why RE4 remake don't have this issue, that runs smooth and don't crash every 30-60 minutes.
Icarus which is aimed at the top end spec PC market runs on my rig and don't make my cpu run at 100% 100c all the time either so again the game needs optimizing.

Dude, it's not optimzation making your CPU overheat its your cooling. You could have not seated your cooler very well, or you have ♥♥♥♥ case flow that isn't getting heat out of the case fast enough. Try to stress with prime95 and see what happens.

This would be the case whether it's 1998 or 2028, your CPU should be able to handle full load without overheating.

If you fix your cooling, you'll probably see significant improvement.

Really other games can run smother and more Resolution 4K but is fine cpu 40-60% all the time.
why this game can usage high pc and getting low performance 2K 60fps but use cpu 80-90% Doesn't make sense.

Run Prime95 AVX with small FFTs and report back.

Also Icarus ain't aimed for high end configs when their minspec is what it is.

[Der_Hutmacher]

Alternate title if the game has not been optimized for multithreading: "My CPU is getting cold. Why does the game only use 8.3% of my big ass 12-core CPU while getting only low fps? Poorly optimized!"😜
Normally, it's a good thing when a game utilizes all available cores equally. Cap the game @60 fps and report back.
And is your CPU running "unlocked" in BIOS? You could also try to limit the TDP for PL2 in BIOS to max. 65 Watt (rated TDP fot this CPU).

[MafiaTonijs]

I have Liquid Freezer II 280 A-RGB and i7 13700k, which all games 65-75C get. But this game is going up to a maximum of 89C. So the problem is in the game for sure, Game use VRAM 59% too

p.s after shaders going to 100%, max get 81C, all good

Just get a better cooler problem solved...

make sure you dont overclock
and make sure your case has good ventilation

I don't like to overclock and it has good ventilation, I have to have it because I do renders and 3D modeling for animation or videogames
