To everyone experiencing high cpu temps, check voltage using a monitor.

[Sassy Kennedy]

I'm curious and wishing to gather information based on voltage, as from a short test I did using HWInfo and Hydra (Ryzen Specific) to monitor individual CPU voltages I came across this game utilizing at least 1.34V total, higher than (most) other CPU extensive games I've played. I also ran a test with Cinebench R23 and came across the CPU using 1.10V total and again using the same 6 cores that Space Marine uses which instantly pulled ~1.34V.

I'm hoping this will come across someone much smarter than me with knowledge in this subject. But my guess is, as this game utilizes only 5 - 6 cores on a 5950X it in turn doesn't tune down voltage as it's a few less cores than what a multi-core load would usually be. In turn forcing the CPU to constantly be fed 1.34V on said 6 cores within the same CCD which in turn heats it up (in my case) to 68C - 70C.

Please if anyone has some extra knowledge of what could be occurring, let us know and fill us in so we may report this to the devs and allow even more of our Marines into the field.
