CPU at 75C

[emitfudd]

Just started the game and got to the first beacon. My CPU is staying at around 75C which is a lot hotter than any other games I have played. Will turning down some of the graphics settings make a difference or is this game just heavy CPU usage?

5900X CPU, 3080 GPU, 360mm AIO CPU cooler, large case with good airflow.

While 75C isn't unreasonable it does put a lot of heat into my room and my fans ramp up right at this temp and make a more noticeable sound which stresses me out a bit.

Limiting ur fps will bring down cpu Temps. When's the last time u repasted ur cpu?

75c is totally normal for a cpu and a game like this.

If other games run cooler, they use a different platform. I wouldn't give it much more thought. Nothing to worry about.

Yea, in the summertime, my den (game room) gets quite hot. LOL. Nice in the winter though! :)

If you do it right the first time (super thin and even layer), you should never have to "redo" it again. I'm not arguing against what others might say. I'm just saying that from experience. I've been building my own PC's since 1990 (did it for a living for a little while, till I moved on to programming).

CPU paste isn't the issue. I just finished Sniper Elite 5 and temps were way lower. Same with Hogwarts and Sniper Elite 4. I will try limiting the fps. Right now I have it set to 160fps with Riva Tuner. I'll try limiting it to 60 and see if it helps.

[emitfudd]

Limiting fps to 60 brought the CPU temp down to 58. Much better.

Honestly if a CPU needs repasting, it was done wrong in the first place.

Not going to get into the debate of water vs air cooled, whether the water system is AIO or a custom job, but I'll mention that my CPU never goes over 65 with this game and I have an air cooler. An expensive, high quality one, but still less than half the cost of any AIO water cooler I've ever seen for sale.

I just stated I had a 360mm AIO so nobody would say my cooling is insufficient.

Best thing I can recommend is a headset with noise cancellation if the noise bothers you that much. Any reasonably modern computer should lock up before any damage is done.

My gpu and cpu are 3 years old, think they need some repasting? (3060ti - i5 11600)

They get kinda high temps (80°) despite liquid cooling.

Sent it to the local technician shop a couple or three tines and hes really not solving it (changed positions of gpu, fans, bought new liquid cooling, tried a 12 to 24v thing to super rev the fans without success etc)

[Urk_da_WAAAGH!]

i5-7400 here and it is capping at 68°C.

Isn't a game side problem honestly.

Read up on undervolting your CPU "Ryzen 9 5900x undervolt"
There are several videos on youtube showing benchmarks etc and the benefit of doing it.

[Gutenheim]

75C is 20C lower than acceptable, you are fine

[JimDFTW]

palworld too seemed to heat up CPUs more than other games. Im very sensitive to noise so I can hear the fans ramping up and monitor afterburner a lot.

This is absolutely incorrect. Over time thermal paste (unless using liquid metal) will dry out and separate from the IHS.

I've been building pcs over 25 years. Seen it countless times

You can have the biggest cooler in the world but if it's not making really good thermal contact between the top of your cpu heatspreader to the block of ur aio if will effect Temps. Air bubbles can do the same thing.

Also, as stated by others, you are well within your thermal limits. Try adjusting your fan curves to the noise levels that suit you. Or, like I suggested, cap ur fps. Less frames = less cpu load =s less cpu/gpu temps.
