Extreme CPU heat being generated
Whenever I turn my CPU load in the settings menu to be above "Minimal Impact", including even something like "Low Impact", my CPU's temperature spikes up from the mid 40s/low 50s (Celsius) to high 80s/low 90s within seconds, while only reaching the mid 40s of percentage in CPU usage.
The thing is though, whenever I boot up a game which takes about the same CPU load, like Helldivers II, my temperatures stick around the mid 50s. The decent temperatures apply to what seems like everything, including scores from 3dMark's Time Spy benchmark, where my CPU temperature would hardly reach over the mid 70s in temperature.
The reason I even want to turn the CPU load above minimal impact is to make LODs generate quicker/at all, and eliminate the "Distant Horizons overloaded" message.
What's going on? Thanks in advance.
(And for reference, have a i7-14700k, cooled by a Corsair H100i Elite Capellix, with plenty of airflow from a 4000D Airflow and three 120mm fans. I have also just cleaned my computer of any dust, only for no difference to be made.)
