CPU is 90+ degrees

[Revalopod]

Hot damn. When playing the game, in a match, the CPU will be 90 degrees... AVERAGE. With spikes even higher. I saw it reach 100 once. No wonder it crashes. Why the heck isn't it being cooled? It's not even loud, like the fans aren't even trying. Help would be appreciated!

Something I tried out.

Go to the Nvidia Control Panel (I'm not sure how this would work for AMD, sorry), and put a limit to the "Max Frame Rate", specifically for Helldivers 2 (since apparently, the in-game options for "Framerate Limiter" isn't working... maybe?). (That, and I've placed all settings to lowest, if that helps)

This seems to have "fixed" the CPU going above 95°C+ / 203°F+ (at least, until the next patch comes in... hopefully). Hoping this helps people.

add more cooling... lol a 95 watt TDP cpu with water cooling doesnt need MORE cooling especially not with an open case and ambient temps around 22 celsius.
The game engine is BROKEN AF!

oh forget to tell you, contact frame should help you drop some heat off

That's the problem I had if anyone else is in a similar boat. Nothing is wrong with the hardware or cooling or anything.
It's actually the default bios settings that aren't setting sensible limits.

I have the same (100% CPU usage all the time in missions), ive resorted to limiting cpu usage to 99% in control panel so my cpu never overclocks by itself. Im around 45 degrees C when playing now. It is a lot more fps drops now though.

you might as well tell what cpu are you using? some older cpu will probably run 100% and that's fine. mine was also running 100% before i turned off in-game fps limiter and put it on from nvidia control panel - now its not constant 100%.

13900ks have been getting a bit of a reputation for Mobo settings being too high with stock settings. And some advise not to use XMP.

I have an Asus mobo with 13900k. Have to disable multicore enhancement or whatever your manufacturer's equivalent is. Both long and short limits can be at 253W. I also reduced my ratios by 3.

I was also having general system stability issues, which these things also helped with.

I took extra steps too, since I generally don't need the processing power that heats the CPU up so much, I disabled two E-cores and disabled hyperthreading on two of the P-cores.

Mine would hit 85 tops before, now I keep it below 70 fairly consistently in game.

ALSO, use Nvidia Image Scaling from the NVidia app/control panel. It seems better then the scaling built into the game.

Just a handful of things to try
