Your new PC is running Warzone for the first time, but you're noticing unusually high CPU temperatures and stable frame rates. The CPU temps are spiking to 80–87°C while your FPS remains around 140–160. In the Cinema Bench test, it's only 70–75°C with the same hardware. This suggests a potential issue with cooling or thermal management.

The frame rate isn't sufficient—I'd expect some throttling happening. You didn't specify the game's resolution, so a FPS number alone doesn't give much clarity. If your CPU feels too hot, the fix would likely be to lower the temperature.

This seems like a high resolution setting, but I'm not sure if it's appropriate for my system. I'm still getting familiar with all this and wasn't sure if the numbers were correct. In a tech support thread, I was wondering if you meant to ask about something else.

This situation might seem appealing at first, but it's quite poor for cooling. The temperatures you observe are elevated, though you shouldn't worry too much—it's manageable. The lower readings in Cinebench likely occur because your GPU is idle during testing, whereas gaming forces it to generate over 300W of heat into the case with inadequate airflow, which also raises CPU temperatures.
