Just got Persona 5 working on my PC, yet when I run it my CPU temps immediately jump to over 90°C on all cores and begins to thermal throttle. Here I was playing with the game upscaled to 4k as well as eventually getting the 60fps mod about an hour into my playthrough and lowering the resolution to 1440p, yet when I turned the resolution back down to native 720p and got rid of the mod, my CPU just doesn't seem to be able to handle it. Even with my high temps, the game runs super smooth and I don't recall ever getting any frame dips at any resolution, it's just the CPU temps that are the problem. I was playing it just fine for over 2 hours until my PC decided to freeze and I had to reset. I also run another game on the emulator, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax perfectly fine with stable CPU temps in the 70°C range, so it seems to be a problem with just Persona 5. I'm running the latest version of RPCS3 (at the time), RPCS3 0.0.11-10665-af1ceb11 Alpha, so I'm not sure if this is a problem or not. I also getting an error message when I close Persona 5 which then causes the RCPS3 launcher to crash. I'm not sure if I'm completely missing something or what. Any help is welcomed!

Config and error message will be attached below.

You need a better CPU cooler then, that's not something you fix on RPCS3

I have a Corsair H115i
Clean your desktop, replace thermal paste, if your CPU goes above 85ºC that's an issue with your build, you can replicate those temperatures with a prime95 stress test, RPCS3 is very efficient therefore it can and will make your CPU run at 100% when needed
