PAcific Drive pushes my computer into Heat Shutdown.

[Samnson]

Any fix for this?
I monitor the game with my parts hardware,

Ryzen 9 5900X + RX 7800 XT

Game will run at an even temp when Im monitoring it not doing much,
But when I start salvaging or hauling ass around the map, the CPU temp skyrockets and causes the computer to shutdown entirely.

I have not experience this with literally any other game I own and I can comfortably play most of them at Max settings.

I can't even play this at medium before I can toast bread with my PC.

What is causing this?
Just bad optimization?

same... 5800x3d with a 7800 xt. it maxes out my system temps even with just 6gb of video memory used. Haven't experienced a shut down though even with my ambient temp at 30 degrees.

This isn't a game problem. You should be on a hardware forum.

Poor cooling. Thats all. What is your CPU cooler?

You can also put shadows to medium which should help.

(this is quoting you, but it's pointed at the OP) I know the first instinct is going to be to make some larger point about how all of your other games work and so therefor it can't be your cpu cooler, let's skip that. If you KNEW what you were talking about you wouldn't be here asking, so just answer this persons question and we can try to help. :)

When a computer shuts down due to overheating. Its a hardware issue. Not software.

The CPU, regardless of Intel or AMD, should be able to run at full on all cores. If it goes above a certain threshold due to an inadequate cooling. The computer (BIOS controlled) will shut itself down to prevent damage.

Being that you have a Ryzen 9 5900X and a Max. Operating Temperature (Tjmax)
90°C. That means you exceeded that temp.

In conclusion. This will only happen when you have insufficient cooling or a defective cooler. Like an AIO that is blocked or pump failure.

Let me reiterate,

Only happens with this game,
Everything else runs fine, cooler is a Noctua D9L and I've had it set to max, and still experience sudden extreme heat followed by shutdown.

And the very very specific problem is that the game will run perfectly fine, up until I start salvaging or driving really fast.

And I have no explanation for the CPU jumping to shutdown temps.

I'm an Idiot and after an embarrassing amount of years I bought a $40 cooler and my computer no longer shuts down like your describing in any game. It would shut down playing this and not other games like RDR2 for whatever reason.

How old is your thermal paste?

Is your CPU overclocked at all?

At most 2 months old,
This CPU is manufacture brand new and was properly pasted;

Never overclocked, never had too;
Everything else runs perfectly without is.

Specifically because I wanted the PC to run more quietly;
and again, at most 60c during normal use.
Never more that 70c if im doing something stressful;

Absolutely nothing on my PC causes it to break a sweat;
Except this game.

Like Desktop?

Did you repaste it after experiencing issues?

So your options are either to fix your hardware problem or stop running the game on max because your hardware isn't cooling properly.

I'm not sure what you're hoping someone is going to tell you besides this, but if you want I can lie to you and tell you the game is doing it so you should uninstall. You'll still have a cooling problem, though.

No, like 20 Chrome tabs open + Wallpaper Engine + ClipStudio Open + Me afking in modded minecraft in the back ground + Roblox afking.
(I have 3 screens + a display tablet for art)

Which is about normal use for me.

If im doing something stressful, I might have all that open + Star Citizen or Halo Infinite Open.

It also happens at potato settings,
At this point I'm 100% sure its the game;

And none of you "its a hardware" problem guys seem to want to admit that.
Something about the game is going out of its way to cook my CPU.

It has been wildly unhelpful.

I was hoping for a workaround, or if there is something specifically I could target to stop it from cooking.

My Cooling is fine, there is something wrong with the game.

No. You're just wrong, and not being willing to acknowledge how wrong you are means your problem will continue.

Good luck with that.
