CPU reaches temps above 80 degrees celsius - stopped playing... as of now.

[Rebel Drifter on YT]

Yesterday I streamed for HOURS on end. No problem! Streaming on only 1 pc and playing the game!

Today I started playing with my friend (which we did yesterday a tiny bit - an hour or 1,5)
Also streamed a bit but then it completely crashed.
Cpu temps skyrocketed.
Restarted after everything cooled down.

No stream. But trying to go back to my own server. Same thing. Cpu temp skyrocketing and crashing the pc. This has now happened 3 times in a row.
Everything else besides this game - seems to work flawlessly.
So... I guess I can't play anymore.

Or are there specific tricks.

I am running an i9 something (dont remember)
1000watt power supply - and rtx 3080.
Thanks...

Only thing I can think of is if your thermal paste is old or something.

[POMPOKO]

I have an i7, rtx 3080 and my temps are around 75°, even on steamdeck around the same.
You def need more cooling on your pc, can it be that you have a smaller case? Or a prebuild pc, maybe the fans are not strong enough. there are some programs to control the fans so maybe try this
Like mentioned before my comment thermal paste might be an idea too

[rapmike1]

check your fans and make sure everything is working on your cooling system too make sure its not plugged up or something ive not had that issue and i run a I9 12 gen and a 3080 with 32 gb ddr5 ram and 1000watt power also , and no issues here i run a cooling system too. so i would make sure all that is working.

Might be the save is corrupted and causing it. I would try making a new one to see if it does it again. Might be too many entity on the save file?

Thanks to the both of you for your comments.
Everything say is a no pretty much.

I built the pc from scratch. But this was I think 2 years ago or so. I have a AIO cooler mounted on the correct way with 3 fans and enough cooling. It normally stays pretty low. It's def. the game. I read more on the internet about it.
Cooling is really really good. Very big open case (coolermaster) white.

I can play Cyberpunk no problem on the highest settings as far as I remember.
All other games no problem. This is also the first time that this has happened to me.

i9 can handle up to 80-85 fine.

If its that high, your cooling needs work, either cpu thermal paste or better fans or liquid cooling.

How would one make a new save file? I did have a pretty dense base with a lot going on. But no problems before. And been streaming for hours yesterday like I said with no problems above 100 frames WITH streaming on the background.

Every game has someone saying this about it, and it is never correct. Games can't make hardware overheat. It is your hardware & its drivers' responsibility not to overheat. Games don't control this.

If games could overheat hardware, "unlocked FPS" could not exist as a feature because it would immediately overheat.

im running a ryzen 9 and i dont break above 60c granted iv got gods radiator on my CPU and like 8 fans in this ♥♥♥♥♥ but yea

[Arokhantos]

Modern gaming cpu's are set to boost all the way until it reaches thermal limits usually about 100c on Intel on AMD its 90 or 95c or 100c depending on which generation cpu you have.

Stop worrying about temps, if they worry you get better cooling, do not gimp your performance just out of fear of thermals but incase still worries you and you are on AMD cpu try eco mode usually does not sacrifice much performance at all and reduces thermals as well.

Alternatively you can lower the power limit so it cant boost past it.

Reseat cooler with fresh paste, while ensuring proper TMI spread across the IHS.

What cooler are you using, and in what configuration/case? The 3080 can output a lot of wattage, so if the AIO is outtake, you'll be pumping all that energy into your CPU coolant loop.

Im not sure how on the server but you could create a new world in solo to see if you get high temps. Or if you can find the save location on your server download it and run it on solo to see if it happens again.

I dont think its a problem with your pc honestly but with the game. Sure you are getting high temps but an i9 can run perfectly fine at them temps and would thermal throttle if it did get to hot. I have a i7-13700KF and getting 68c and its not on a aio.

Thank you. I am positive it's the game... Lowered some settings just now and it ramped up again to 78 / 80 degrees.
I'll try to play around with it some more.

80 is not high and not high enough to lock the PC up. It would throttle before it locks up i9 normally start to throttle at 95 to 100. Try verifying the game files and run a bench test like cinebench. If the PC is having a problem with heat then cinebench will lock it up. If it runs that ok then heat is not the issue.

Its not the game.... It literally cannot draw more current than the firmware allows it to...
