I'm playing on a ROG laptop with a 4090 and an i9-13980 and have noticed that my CPU temperature gets really high despite my overall CPU usage remaining low in certain situations.
For example, just running around Limsa with the usual parade of AFKers, my CPU jumped north of 90° despite my usage not getting past 25 %
I've never really paid much attention to stuff like this until recently, so this might not be new at all.
Some googling told me that this can happen when a game is coded to only use a small number of available cores, meaning those cores get hot, but since only, say, 8 out of the 16 available cores get used, the usage stat displayed can't get higher than 50%
