i7 8700k getting hot

I have a i7 8700k overclocked to 5.0.  Everthing is fine and the temps are ok but when I play pubg the cpu gets quite toasty as for some reason it maxes out one of the cores and it doesn't switch it round to other cores. It all still runs fine but the cpu temps get into the high 70s low 80s. Is there a way or setting so it switches between cores or do you think its just the game?

Any help would be great , thanks.

5GHz is quite the overclock. I'm almost certain that @Mooshi has the right answer here. Problem is when you're at idle your CPU isn't really doing anything, so it won't get hot. PUBG will give your CPU way more work, and with that it'll get quite toasty.

The 5Ghz overcolck is fine, I've ran it stress tested for an hour plus with no problems. Its just when I play pubg it uses multi cores but maxes out one. I was just seeing if there was a way to make it move around the cores to reduce the temps.

I have thought about it but I'm probably just going to get the new i9 and see how that does. Thanks anyway.

Yeah that is a bit odd. It's definitely a PUBG problem, that much I know.

5Ghz is fine. It goes higher but I don't like the voltage.
