cpu overheat in one game

[bc2003]

My cpu gets really warm...around 70-80c in rainbow six siege...in other games like bf4, skyrim, dayz it runs 55-60c. I guess my question is can a game thats optimized poorly or having issues cause this like it is or is it a coincidence and somethimg else?

I ran prime95 for 10 minutes as someone told me if i had heat issues i would know there...it stayed 58c

What processor, heat sink, motherboard, tower case, and case fans (how many) do you have? Prime 95 should push your system much harder than any game ever could, that is why it is used to test stability.

that's just it..it only does it in one game. my question is can a bad optimized game or game file cause this

Could very well be. I don't play Rainbow Six Siege so I'm not familiar with it, but I know that games like Witcher 2 had a graphics setting that if you enabled it would bring even a mighty i7 with powerful GPU to its knees. I would start with seeing if there is a particular graphics setting that is causing the extensive system draw.

I have exact the same problem. Rainbow 6 siege heats my CPU like crazy and shutsdown the PC. This only happen with this game. I think the game is really poorly optimized. Is not a problem of fans, or any thing like that.

I would say that your best bet, as Claudio_3 has the same problem, is to lower your setting in game for now and wait for a patch. If you and Claudio_3 are having this issue I'm sure many other people are too and a patch will probably be along that fixes the issue.
