Sims 4 makes my CPU hot?
Hey guys - I just got the complete game (up to the last patch) for my birthday, and was wondering why it makes my CPU (not my GPU) so dang hot. I have a quad core I7 Intel processor, so it should, in theory, be fine, right? Wrong. That heckin chonker of a game has me running at temps of 100c on all 4 cores, and that gives me much worry. The GPU (1060 3gb Nvidia GTX) doesn't even break a sweat.
What I am going to try: Lowering the graphics settings (no more ultra) - turning on vSync - I will report back/edit this post to let you all know if that works. I do have a bit of CC and mods, but I don't think those would affect the CPU - more like the GPU, correct?
I don't have this issue with Sims 3... weird. (I limit the FPS to 30 on that game, as I don't see the need for it to be any faster)
Besides what I listed above, is there anything different that I need to do/might be able to do to prevent the CPU from going "kerboom!" ?
Running Windows 10, just in case that's important.
Thank you!
