CPU USAGE AT 100% and 100 degrees

[Knight Templar Vanthas]

Have they fixed this yet or ? only game it happens on I have an I9-3900KS and a 4090.

I think its a fix at your end. I have the same specs and no issues. Try searching the forum.. the solution is there.

I have an R9 7900X and the only time I reach 100% usage is on helicopter rides. Even then, I barely approach 75C on it.

What sort of cooling do you have and have you set a thermal limit in your BIOS that keeps your CPU from reaching that temperature?

[FamouZ_PT]

Max temps here of CPU sometimes is 75 but not always, here i have no issues

you need a watercolling, this is no game problem, i was the same problem, now i am with wc with 14700k 68 c

That is just normal operating temperature for the self-destruct series Intel. The 13900 & 14900 are heavily flawed by design. You probably need to update your BIOS to prevent self-destruction and drastically accelerated electro-migration.
And besides that as PauloCosta mentioned: Watercooling helps a lot. Running this on anything other than WC is madness.

I was a +10y loyal intel customer and I switched to AMD after I experienced the 13900 and 14900 warranty hell by myself.

Let me tell you this much: It is NOT the game. Its your hardware/software.
One last thing: 100C operating temp will cause permanent damage. Stay away from that temp at all cost.

The short answer for you is no. The game is heavily multi-threaded, utilizes AVX2 instructions, and your 13900ks is designed to run over 300W during these types of workloads.

The longer answer is there are certainly things you can adjust to avoid this, especially if you're only gaming.

The first is to make sure your BIOS is updated, as newer microcode will fix (among other things) unwanted voltage spikes and turbo boosts happening while the CPU temp is already beyond what it should be.

Then, adjust your PL1/PL2/Tau values in BIOS to somewhere closer to where you are comfortable with temperatures, while not giving up gaming performance. PL1/PL2 for the 13900ks is typically 253W (assuming your motherboard doesn't crank everything to unlimited) but even that is too high for pure gaming scenarios. I would suggest starting with something like PL1 125W, PL2 188W, and maybe a 60 second Tau. There may be some other settings like Thermal Velocity Boost (TVB) and enhanced Thermal Velocity Boost (eTVB) you can try toggling, or see if you can set a negative AVX offset which would affect only a very limited amount of games (including GZW). How much higher or lower you adjust PL1/PL2 will depend on your CPU cooler. Really if you have anything less than a 420mm AIO or a custom loop though, I'm not sure why you would buy a 13900ks.

Setting a reasonable frame rate cap, along with DLSS frame generation will also cut your CPU load down a bunch. Helicopter rides may still spike up, but other areas where you're actually on foot and playing will have much more reasonable load and lower temps with those two settings enabled.

If you don't want to do any of those things then sorry, either wait for more optimization, or hopefully next time Intel won't push their misleading performance numbers and you can just buy an AMD X3D CPU for gaming

I have water cooling :(

I updated bios got the microcode its must just be the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ass chip then. thanks for the reply.

Yea ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ass chip haha thanks for the response.

FWIW I have a 14700k and was experiencing the same thing, WITH Water Cooling and 3 120mm fans. I did the BIOS update that Intel released that adjusted the power consumption on the CPU and I haven't had that issue since.
