AC: Origins overheating temps/High CPU usage FIX for Nvidia/Intel Users

[Nemesis]

I've got the following as a setup;

Asus Rog Strix B760-I Wi-Fi Gaming Motherboard
Intel i5-14600k CPU @ 5.3Ghz
Asus Dual GeForce RTX 4070 Super
32GB DDR5 4800Mhz RAM
2TB M.2 SSD + 4TB External HDD Storage

This is the first game I've encountered that has caused my CPU to go above 85'C and it seems to be common for users specifically with this game.

I found a fix for those who don't want to burn out their system for a $30 game. By making this change, my CPU temp went from 85'C down to 43'C. Temperature literally dropped 40 degrees just by switching this specific setting. For some reason the CPU Settings paired with ASUS performance enhancement settings cause the usage to spike to insane levels beyond necessary, causing the component to overheat.

For those who have ASUS Boards and Intel processors, turn off "ASUS 3.0 Enhancements" under the CPU settings. This stops the turbo boosting technology from overheating the CPU. Just by doing this one thing my CPU temp dropped from 80'C to 40'C.

I also did not notice ANY difference in performance in-game after making this switch.

Hope this helps anyone who needs.
