High CPU temp 0.2.0

Setup:
ryzen 7 7800x3d
rtx 5080
32Gb RAM

After this patch my CPU hitting 80 degrees, and 2-3 more on loading screeens.
I enabled VSync, switched to Vulkan, disabled NVIDIA Reflex, but nothing helped. Meanwhile CPU usage in game like 30-40%, but temps are really high.
I sure that its not hardware problem, AIO and thermalpaste was changed less than month agom and in AAA games like CP2077, AS Shadows CPU temp was <70.

Is there anyway how i can fix it?

AAA means nothing. what matters is how the game is optimized to use hardware. POE 1 and 2 is VERY CPU intense. so you will use far more cpu power than other games. for example my 5700x3d hits about 30% usage on Cyberpunk 2077 max settings no RT. but in POE2 with all settings turned to as low as they go i am using 60%-80% of my cpu and only 50-60% of my gpu. POE is just CPU hungry
yes there is

Go into your UEFI BIOS

And set a Max Temp under PBO to 60-70-80C

Also try ECO mode in UEFI BIOS.

Change your Fan´s setup too.

you wont lose much CPU power..

I set 70C which is more than enough to keep 12 cores@4Ghz

but well not for POE2 because i wont play this game anymore...

I'm afraid there is nothing we can do until the dev actually starts working on the game from technical side.

They've just shttd their pants yesterday, thus they are going to be busy fixing the mess on the gameplay side, so I don't see it coming in any foreseeable future.

We had a discussion about that. I will try to find the link.

I am a professional graphic designer working in Unity.

I have posted some screenshots that illustrate the current situation with the CPU and GPU in Path of Exile 2.

For now use this, 100% will help.
But do not make any Win rollbacks...I do not recommended it.
