The game is multithreaded, as are all our recent games. But not all processes gain from being split across processors, so it is common for one CPU to carry more load than the others do. That has nothing to do with your overheating issue though.

Right click on ck3.exe , properties, compatibility. Tick "disable fullScreen optimisations" untick every other box in that dialog, Apply and exit.

Then in the launcher Game Settings menu, select fullScreen display mode, Vsync off, cap refresh rate at 60.
