"Just an example of the Usages and Temperatures that I was experiencing after being in the Loading Screen for a bit [with my own little 'benchmarking overlays' I run once in a while] - I was reading that some others are experiencing 100% usage and high temperatures (over 90C!) and wanted to show, not that they were wrong - obviously it is happening to them; but that it is (1) somewhat 'normal' for Loading Screens to have 100% cpu usage (especially for games with compressed source libraries) and (2) that the temperatures are 'not normal' - especially that high! I was seeing barely over 60C on the CPU while both Loading and Playing for awhile... Some suggestions could be to check the dust in the system and clean it out, check that the fans are working clearly/fully, maybe re-seat the CPU and/or apply/refresh the thermal paste between the CPU die and the CPU fan heatsink. Just shooting out some ideas that may help... GL to those experiencing these issues"
