Do you have vsync turned on in the settings? This can be a common issue in game menus if there's no FPS cap, since your CPU/GPU will be pumping out hundreds, sometimes thousands of frames.

You can also use a framerate limiter if this is the problem but you don't want to enable vsync for whatever reason.

I already set my all games to fps to 20 to reduce heat on hardware, from NVIDIA Control Panel.

PROBLEM SOLVED

1. Turn off Windows 10 Game Mode.
2. Disable Fullscreen Optimizations ESO64.exe

God knows Windows 10 is so bloated with nonsense which drives people mad for a good reason. What is Game mode? Why is it added to OS? Why Microsoft keep adding "features" left and right and making problems? Microsoft wants me to use Linux or something? They destroying their own product.

Turn off the multi-thread enhancement option in the settings and then restart the game. See how that effects your temps/load

so I got a new update on launcher today, and now cannot play the game because my CPU freaks out magically jumpin to 85c, usage also jumps to %99. This does not happen with anything else. Something is wrong with this launcher update? Other games work fine, I already deleted the UserSettings from Documents folder so I can set my in game graphics again but that did not help, same result. MSI Afterburner shows literally in miliseconds from 45c to 85c that is clearly not normal? Is there somesort cache I need to remove?

If you are seeing a jump like that its because of other reasons that ZOS wouldnt be able to fix because its on your end. Try changing that multi-thread option in the settings and test again and let us know if you see a jump like that still.

I refused to get a new computer because the bloat in win 10 and 11 But the guys at geek squad removed all things fat.

I loved Win 7 and refused to move off it till my comp went bust. The new ones won't work right on 7 so I was stuck with 11. But since they did their magic I have no problems.

OK so I just solved my CPU temperature problem after finding this solution below. For reference I was instantly spiking from 55C to 90-100C, and now after implementing the solution below I am running at a nice 65-75C.

SOLUTION HERE: (Edited text)

Thanks to those who found it and pointing at it in this post, the solution (at least in my case and apparently many more) is very simple (Makes you think ...)

To make it short:

Go to Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live.
Open the file UserSettings.txt or UserSettings.
Scroll all the way down and find the line SET MaxCoresToUse.4 "-1" (The number in quotes might be different for you), and change it to SET MaxCoresToUse.4 "2" (Simply change the number in quotes to 2, other numbers might work too but 2 was the one that worked for me and others).

You can also check the original solution at this post : https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/599878/fps-after-patch/p2

You didnt fix your problem. Your problem is still there and I really hope you listen to this before its too late for you. Your temps rising that fast to those specific temps means you have a severe cooling problem. If you do not fix it soon you will fry your cpu. If limiting cores is helping with this, then that most likely means your cooling paste has dried up and it needs to be replaced. Usually you should be replacing it at least once a year but rarely people do till its too late. Go look up a good cleaner kit online (should be in 2 different bottles) and then a good paste. Also wouldnt hurt to get a better fan if you can but replacing the paste should be a priority. If you dont believe me on this...go get a program called prime95 and test yourself while researching the topic. Hope that helps.

I do feel though that limiting cores was a very substantial and direct solution to my cpu temps. As of today I am running multiple applications in the background with eso ultra settings simultaneously and sitting at 60-65C. It's worth mentioning that other games have never spiked my temps like that. But I do plan on reapplying new thermal paste though which is a great suggestion and good routine maintenance that everyone should do. As the builder of my pc I set myself up with a full tower with good airflow and cable management to make maintenance easy peezy. Thanks!
