Does this game make your CPU run hot?

The last couple of games I have played seem to be utilizing CPU more than GPU. I hate this. I started the game on ultra with FPS capped at 160. Very shortly my CPU was at around 76C. I had to turn it down to high and limit FPS to 60 to get temps down to normal range. Since when do games utilize the CPU more than the GPU.

5900X with 4090.

I think a 5900x CPU would be better suited to pair with a 4070 GPU unless you're looking to OC that CPU which will definitely raise temps. What type of cooling are you using on CPU though?

[emitfudd]

360mm AIO cooling. CPU usually runs at normal temps in most games. This game, Horizon FW and Dragon's Dogma 2 all had areas on the map that gave CPU spikes or just ran hot if you had FPS and settings cranked up.

I placed the music box in my base and it caused a huge jump in my cpu temps. I did a test and turned the music box on and off a number of times. cpu temps jumped up every time I turned it on. Submitted a bug report.

No it runs like any other game. Here's a pic with that Music Box On. Granted cpu use did go up a tiny bit. And cpu temp fluctuates a lot. Low was 44C and high i was 60C. Average maybe 52C or so. Using an old non compatible 240mm aio which i modified. So not meant for my cpu and it should perform terribly but it does way better then i expected. It never thermal throttles when gaming. It can when cpu stress testing. Obviously 60hz Vsync helps a lot.

My cpu usage is just under 20%. If cpu usage is higher then gpu it may be time for an upgrade. But that 5900x should be like 75-80% of the performance of my 13600kf which means you shouldn't really be having issues as that cpu should be way more then capable of handling this game. Maybe reapply your thermal paste.
