Fake, there's no such thing as the French language.
Probably.

What does "Excuse my French" mean then?
For those who interested what the heck OP meant to ask:

I wish all devs demanded that. It is so tiresome when people with hardware issues show up to complain about a game. Responsibility where responsibility is due, and it is not the game's job to keep your chips from overheating or PSU from cutting out.

"Please forgive my failure in cohesion."

I thought it was akin to "Pardon my French" a prelude to expletives being uttered.

That's what it's always meant in any part of the US I've lived in.
Actually, the pardon is requested after an explitive. Why? Because one makes mistakes and then begs forgiveness after.

Otherwise it would be intentional and silly to beg forgiveness.

Watch old movies, it happens a lot around the 80s. Kind of cute.
Is this about boobs?
well, it's about dirty language so ... sure, why not.

I usually say that after I fart in public. I wonder why the new update and DLC will specifically stress the CPU (not the GPU)? What is it calculating so much that 8-core CPU would be running at 90% all the time? I hope it is not doing cryptomining in the background...

According to my experience, a CPU got a higher issue in term the load is focused on a few cores only instead of a still high load yet properly spread. Handling "hotspots" is the true issue, not handling a die as a whole. Especially modern CPUs with peak frequencies of 5 GHz or more are vulnerable to hotspots issues and especially demanding on a 7800 X3D keeping up such clocks without proper cooling.

However, if you tune your MB settings properly, almost no CPU may have a issue. Still, in my mind, without some form of watercooling, no CPU with clocks reaching 5 GHz is truly safe. It may degrade way to fast... if not cooled well under those conditions. Generally i do not recommend above 80 C for extended period (so my TJ max is set to 80)... if so it will degrade more quick than the warranty may last but the manufacturer will probably still not hand out any warranty.

A critically degraded CPU will act unstable under high load or high clocks... this may not count as a warranty term, yet this is some sort of damage that can be considered "faulty" at a certain point; but the manufacturer usually is keeping "this failure-threshold" very low, so they can say "everything works according to the low threshold".

As far as i can say, Cyberpunk so far was not spreading those core-loads that well, so it was rather demanding on the CPU. Another game with very good spreading is Horizon Zero Dawn... this game is using the CPU a lot but very even on the cores, so the CPU got no issues with temps.

I only got experience on a 7800 X3D, since i started optimizing it (as a critical demand). Setting Volt properly (very critical), setting TJ max to 80, and -15% for curve optimizer. Other settings works best leaving it on auto, because the CPU seems to handle it better than using some forced limiters.

With this settings the CPU should be safe for extended period (even hardcore gaming), however, the effective performance the CPU can keep up depends on the cooling power... so cooling = your sustained performance. Keeping up 5 GHz at high loads will only work with watercooling, because every C will count. Yes, people can still use a higher TJ max, however... i think, as long as someone is not only playing very casually on weekends a lot of luck is required even surpassing the warranty-period without instabilities.
