Uh what? Absurdly high temps?

[C Lee]

So my CPU i9 10900k is at 82C when I play this game but only gets to 68 while running prime95 and around 50c on other games according to hwmonitor? I'm really confused.. got a 3080 running its memory at 80c hotspot 78c but core is 68c so I think its fine?

Am I gonna damage my computer by just playing BF? I'll return it if that is the case..

Anyone have any advice? Never seen these kinds of temps in any game.. not even benchmarking.

82 isn't excessive although it can seem so.

BF games have, in recent times, all run "hot" for me.

under 90, I don't worry.

intel cpu are supposed to work until 105 °C; the higer power draw is probably because of the avx2 instructions (try to stress test with intel xtu and set the avx2 test)

weird
bf stresses my overclock more than cpu-z bench, i found bf kept crashing until i raised the cpu voltage enough which is quite a lot higher than what i was benching at

many were 105 was the same for nvidia, but this i9 is 100 https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/199332/intel-core-i910900k-processor-20m-cache-up-to-5-30-ghz.html
also mentions "Intel® Thermal Velocity Boost Temperature" 70 (i don't know what it is)

can't help you buddy last intel desktop cpu I had was a i7 8700k and I can certify the crash at 105°c ^^ tested when the termalpaste under the IHS decided to go somewere else^^; now I how an amd cpu and if you manage to reach 95° the cpu will crash the process to stop the overheating (temp only reached wile stress testing in oc and with 220w of power draw).
and cpuZ will just add load to the core but it's a generic one, that is why I used to test the oc with xtu and always did a avx2 stress test, if I managed to go on for 15 mn withouth crashing the pc was ok (sometimes the temps were oc but I hac to increase the votage to stabilize the oc wile cpuz had no crash)

As above, BF games generally are extremely hard on the cpu, most effects are done on the cpu, also your cpu has to constantly keep track of 128 players on 2042, and 64 players in previous titles..

The gpu does less legwork than the cpu does, so higher usage on the cpu usually = higher temps.

Plus it's summer now so you have to take ambient temps into consideration..

If it is 30c outside, take a few degrees off for being indoors.. let's say for example.. 26c.. and your cpu usually idles at say 35 to 40c.. that's a combined temp on your cpu of a high of 66c, down to a minimum of 61c

Then ramp up cpu usage while gaming which could easily bring it to high 70s to low 80s in addition to the heat your gpu also puts out, its just a thing you'll need to compensate for with better cooling ( faster fans perhaps or have them configured for push > pull airflow ) or even watercooling.

Most of the recent intel chips run very hot anyway in my experience so it's to be expected that temps will be fairly high.

Anything beyond 90c is dangerous territory but even if you were to hit those kinds of temps, your motherboard sensors will detect this and will initiate a hard shut down to protect components.

It may be a good idea to take the side panel off your pc also and do a de-dusting regime once in a while, even with dust filters, you will undoubtedly be having dust particles build up on the cpu fan, cpu heatsink fins and the same on your gpu.

ye i've seen they run hot, and recent intel cpu tech is a bit confusing having different cores, either i'll research it properly or i may switch to an AMD 3D AM5 cpu for my next build when bf6 comes out

I'm used to it, my 9700k positively cooks itself on 2042 with temps of around 82c, but it's still within the safe threshold so it's nothing to worry about.

I'm only using coolermaster paste atm too, I may put some kryonaut paste on in the coming weeks as I've heard that stuff is really potent for bringing temps down on cpu and on GPU dies.

Above all Mentioned my freind u got I-9 xD its one of the hottest CPUS out there so unless u hit 100 C + ur cool !

So I was doing more testing and it appears that my i9 runs bf2042 around 68-74c with the occasional 1-2 second 84c not a constant 84c.. I feel much better now knowing that everyones i9 runs these temps and its not necessarily dangerous. Gonna try taking off the cover and see where that gets me as well.

Thanks everyone =D

Just bare in mind that when you do take the cover off, It will impact your cooling setup ( introducing a gap for airflow to be disrupted )

Unless ofc you have a small desk fan you can sit behind the PC to increase the amount of air entering the PC through the rear vents, That may help matters too.

I'm not sure how your setup is, But you could also buy a few extra case fans and plug those in to improve airflow, If you only have "normal" case fans installed, I recommend swapping out the "normal" case fans for "high airflow" case fans, They cost more to buy per unit but the increased airflow is definitely worth the extra in pricing.

You'll know if you have High airflow fans or not, Regular fans have very smooth blades, whereas high arflow fans have grooves in the blades to direct the airflow more directly into your case and components.

Mhmm, even my i9 9900k overclocking and zotac 2070 superclocked, I generally get both at 74-82c with a noctua dh15 and 2 extra 120m noctua, and 5 rosewill 120m fans lol (although the avg for cpu is 70)


BfV even cooks my gpu worse than 2042 lmao

The game burns your FPU heavily. Try to run benchmark for floating point and your CPU will reach that temp which much higher than just stressing the CPU.

I previously use air cooling and reach near 100c when running this game. Watercooling now and bring it down to 75C.

air cooling with what cpu a cooler? 100°C is an insane temp even for air cooling wile gaming (it would be normal on cinebench) or are you using one of the pc that "david does tech" buy for testing?

I used the default Intel cooler with i7-6700 at that time. I got small case, the GPU 980ti over 85C also blow hot air into the case. My motherboard can be heated up to 65C and make the CPU even worse. To be honest, I only face the situation for this game which use FPU insanely. I constantly monitored the temp during this game and hope it will not burn my PC.

I finally bring up the GPU fan curve to lower the GPU temp to 75C and watercooling the CPU around 75-80C. My motherboard is around 55C now.

Due to the motherboard temp, I also find my m.2 SSD heated up to 80C during this game. That also cause unexpected framedrop due to m.2 throttling. I solved this by moving the game to SATA SSD which is in lower temp. interesting, it is better than the m.2 one and now I get stable 60 fps.

The problem may due to my small case w/o good airflow and cannot sustain both GPU/CPU stress at the same time. This is also first game to heat up my m.2 SSD (not loading but heating) and cause unreasonable framedrop.

What kind of cooler do you have on the 10900k?
