Is Cyberpunk overheating my computer?

[Cerenia]

I just bought a cheap budget computer package this winter. This one :
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2780682804

It came with RTX 3060 TI, Ryzen 7 5600G, 1TB SSD, 32gb ram - Gsync curved 240hz AOC gaming monitor, Razer keyboard and razer headset, Roccat xlarge LED mousepad, Roccat Burst mouse and a pair of Creative speakers.

The computer package cost $2500.

I was surprised by how well my cheap computer could run Cyberpunk so the game must have good optimatization. I can only image how well it will run on high end builds.

So here is my question :

I get 80-100 FPS with Ultra settings and all the Ray tracing options on. I have 80-90 fps outdoors and 90-100 fps indoors as seen here at the top left corner :

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2780683024

Now with these settings the fans from the RTX 3060 TI is really making alot of noise so I have capped the FPS to 60 so the fans will be silent. I've read online that the 3060 ti card makes alot of noise when fps is uncapped.

Anyhow I just checked the temperature with CPUID HWmonitor and it says that at 60 FPS capped at ultra setting with raytracing the temps are these :

GPU : 83 celsius (181 fahrenheit). Hot Spot : 95 celcius (203 fahrenheit)
CPU : 80 celsius

Are these dangerously high temps that can melt my rig? Sorry I dont know much about computers so I am just curious.

I naturally want to play with the best settings there is since I get 60 FPS easily, so if my system is capable of it I should use it, but not if it melts it. If I put on High settings with raytracing instead the computer cools down alot, but i dont want to play on high settings and i think the graphics is bad in that mode compared to ultra.

As for you that recommend a new cooling system, the computer I bought is a pre-built HP-Pavilion with no options to customize or change anything inside the computer.

Thanks in advance!

Since you want the best setting you are going to run hot. But gear is made to run hot, you should have some kind of cooling system in your pc if its premade. Either way 80 is okay but if you hit 90-100...you are going to melt your components. I would reduce your settings...a 3060 while powerful will still struggle with a lot of the graphic settings CP has. The game was made with future hardware in mind. you would probably need an RTX3090 if you want max settings and max fps without the gpu melting.

is there any automated safety measures that will turn off the computer before it melts? i've never seen 90c , highest i've seen is 85c so i am living a bit on the edge with ultra settings and full ray tracing?

oh i forgot to mention I have crowd density set to high aswell so the city dont feel so empty

they're not dangerously high but they are unreasonably high for a new computer.
my guess is that the manufacturer skimped out on cooling because you really shouldn't be having that high of a cpu temp.

you shouldn't have to worry about your pc melting or exploding though. the pc has safe measures to handle that, like shutting off completely or ctd if it gets too hot. i do worry though that performance will be compromised if it reaches its temperature limit.

i would recommend to replace your cpu cooler and/or thermal paste or check if its misaligned or something. ONLY IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

I believe they are still within the safe range. Nothing to be really concerned over. If they range higher than 90, then you may have an issue. I would install MSI Afterburner to monitor your frames and temps in real-time, in the game. It will also let you modify your GPU fan profile, so you can actually tell the fans how hard they should be working when the GPU is heating up.

My temps are around 60-70 for both the CPU and GPU. Ryzen 7 3700x and 2070 Super. Of course I don't run with everything turned up.

Watercooling is too much hassle for little gain. Unless you'e doing extreme OCs, it is completely unnecessary. And even then, you can push components pretty far on good air cooling.

not if they arent on. some premades have certain settings off because of overclocking. normally speaking it will turn off if it overheats but again, that could be turned off in the bios.

true, i heard prebuilts can be a hassle like that

that makes sense but i worry for the long term, eventually OP is going to be hitting the cpu temp limit and performance will suffer from it. i think better cooling is necessary in this case, especially for a nice setup like that.

good air cooling** that requires op to understand airflow and know how to install them correctly. not to mention a tower that doesnt have bad air flow as well. so, you are right but idk what the op can do.

Reapply thermal paste. It literally shaved off 10 degrees off the CPU in my most recent build, just because it wasn't applied just right... Pain in the ass, but absolutely worth it. You can also reapply thermal paste over GPUs, but I believe it voids the warranty.

CPU temps should generally be lower than GPU. GPUs can run pretty hot, but running your CPU hot is not good. Buying a cheap tower radiator for like 20-30 dollars will also solve that issue.

Bottom line OP: Your computer is not overheating, but your temps are higher than average under stress. Things you can do:
1. Make sure the airflow in your case is good.
1.1. Make sure the fans are actually blowing the right way.
2. Reapply thermal paste on your CPU. Buy some good paste, too.
3. Install a tower cooler like the Cooler Master Evo or something like that.

the computer i bought is this one : https://www.komplett.no/product/1178892/pc-nettbrett/pc-stasjonaer/gaming-pc/hp-pavilion-gaming-tg01-2035no#

except with 32gb ram instead of 16gb. it's prebuilt and nothing inside it can be changed. the pc chassis is also tiny, which is why i bought that one so it hardly takes any space.

the new computer is the small one, and that large one is the old from 2015. the new computer is more then 3 times smaller then the old, so it's not much room for air vents.

basically the system setup and components is what i will have to stick to forever, cant change anything. i'd lose the warranty if i try to do something aswell.

Your PC has terrible airflow. That's the downside of a small case, the air is not circulated (and thus cooled) properly. It makes sense why your temps are so high, and there's little you can do it to change it. Just ignore it.

I just put ray tracing to medium whilst at every other setting is ultra and checked HWmonitor afterwards. Here is the results :

cpu :

gpu :

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2780696079

I can live with these temps without worrying?

[𝓟𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓽𝓸𝓶]

I avoid high temps just like you, so I just set some of my settings to medium until I get around 70º C for CPU and 78-80º for GPU

For a desktop it is at the normal high temp, and should be lower. My laptop runs high settings 1440p no RT at 70 to 80 fps, cpu and gpu at 80 A LAPTOP.

You should do the following depending on how long did you have your desktop for:

- clean off dust
- repaste the thermal paste with a better quality.

Just take the side off the case, there you go, more airflow. The real judge of overheating is if the case get's hot.

if i put a chocolate bar on top of the chassis whilst playing cyberpunk it will melt instantly
