PC gets too hot.

[Bebop]

Is there a certain setting that makes PC overheat? I'd really like to play this weekend. Works fine for ten minutes, then GPU goes up 84C & Crash. Just wait for new patch or switch something? Anyone?

I am using msi afterburning forcing max 70C.

Strange that it crashes only on 84. Newer systems can work for extended periods of time in high temperature they are designed that way. as long as its not consistently hitting 90+ it should be fine. What vid card are you running? Could be a dust buildup issue...?

So It's a new PC, although it has been three months so possibly dust eh?
I'm running the infamous 4090. It does run hot sometimes, but not usually crash as you say, but this game has been tricky from the start. I've tried most of the changes on past patches, Maybe I'll try lowering shading I think they said at one point.

I'd strongly suggest downloading an OC program like MSI after burner, watching some YT videos on how to use it PROPERLY and forcing a max temp limit.

My first and best suggestion is to lower your FPS to 60 or whatever you are comfortable with. Most overheating issues come from uncapped FPS. Your videocard is state of the art, and 3 months should not have caused dust accumilation. I have several friends with this card who dont seem to have issues in 4k, but I will ask if latest patch impacted them.

OK - I will do this. Thank you.

PS. SET A HARD FPS LIMIT.

Open your Nvidia control panel, find the Remnant 2 program and set your maximum FPS to whatever your monitor can produce (60,120,144 etc) Then go into your OC program and set a max temp limit.

Cool! I'm on it!

Let us know how it goes :) I hope it helps!

First get some monitoring software to see which component is overheating, and 84c on a GPU won't force it to crash, it's poor cooling though.

You'd get better help on a reddit forum or something, include your full specs, run some tests and share the temps, and include some pics, if I had a new 4090 PC that shuts off every 10 mins i'd be very worried.

don't just cap FPS and ignore the problem, your PC has a serious issue

was this a prebuild PC? or did you build it yourself?

[AllergicToBrainRot]

What case do you have? I have icue 4000x RGB case, I have an AIO mounted on top so it's sucks out the heat from my gpu and keeps my cpu cooled much as possible.

Make a custom fan profile with Afterburner. No need to set a fps cap. Sounds like your fans are not being utilized properly.

I encountered the same problem a week ago, turns out my case intake was covered completely by dust, I haven't cleaned it for years lol, then I cleaned everything now sometimes the gpu still hits 80c but on avg at about 74

[Mirona]

your pc should be setup to cool both gpu and cpu at 100% load. if a game or anything else gets your pc too hot than that is on you and or the person/company that build the pc and not the game. anyone that wants to tell you anything different is factually wrong

and yes a framerate cap will help you with your problem but it is just a means of going backwards on the problem. not to say that a framerate cap can have many usecases ofc but using a frameratecap just to make your pc not overheat may be a bandaid for now but should not be the final solution. same for setting a temp limit in afterburner. its problemsolving backwards

i have 4090 never get that hot
