This game is cooking my CPU, but I don't know why...

Question

Hey guys, this is a really strange issue and I'm not entirely sure how to address this.

Whenever I load into a new map, my CPU tempts go up to 85+ and stay there. I know a lot of people end up having high temps at map load due to shaders, but my temps don't go down...

Until I die, or I do a screen reload by changing the Texture Quality from HIGH to MEDIUM and then back again. Then, my temps go back down while I'm on a map. Normal temps run about 50-55 C while playing.

The moment I load into a new map, we're back up to 85-90C, once again until I die to reset the graphics.

Is there any insight into this?
