(!) Dangerous CPU Temperatures & Overall Performance issues

There is something seriously wrong with PoE2 and the way it utilizes your CPU / handles multithreading. Upon loading maps or with certain effects on the screen, CPU temps even with extremely solid cooling setups randomly jump up to 95degrees or higher, even though the CPU usage is comparatively low.

Changing the renderer to Vulkan, changing settings or even under-volting your CPU is completely ineffective. People that report these widespread issues have no similar issues in other games. This also leads to massive performance issues, freezes and crashes of all sorts.

I know this is EA, but the current state of optimization is honestly unacceptable as PoE2 is literally frying people's CPUs, even high-end ones like the 9800x3d. This makes it so many people either have to manually tune down their CPU core utilization or play without multi-threading, which is ridiculous.

GGG really needs to get on top of this and start fixing the extremely lackluster and dangerous performance issues. I invite anybody playing PoE2 to take a look at MSI afterburner and monitor your CPU temps while playing, chances are you're actively damaging your hardware by playing this game.
