Palworld Overheating PCs?

[Mori]

Something isn't right.

This is just anecdotal, but Palworld is the only game that is causing my PC to overheat in a worrisome way.

I don't even mean GPU/CPU, that can be considered "normal" in many cases. Playing Palworld, every time, causes my front USB Panel slots to cease working because they get too hot. After closing the game and turning off my PC for a bit, the front USB slots start working again.

They get hot enough to disable the ports entirely, I could probably fry an egg on it somehow. This isn't happening with any other of my games.

I'm not sure why Palworld specifically would cause this to occur, let alone specifically to the front-side USB bank. The game still runs as usual, I'm not getting any hitching or weird behavior from the game itself, or the PC itself. But it certainly gets hot enough to be a furnace in the room.

Anyone else noticing any strangeness in this same manner?

Mine is 48c max. Fps locked at 60

what is your pc spec and how hot is hot?

without any metrics or specs, theres really nothing to discuss.

That sounds like you have some insanely poor cooling for the front USB ports to get so hot that they stop working, regardless of what game you're running. What CPU/GPU temps are you hitting? Do they ever settle out or just keep rising forever?

If your PC is overheating in any way from any program then its your thermal cooling problem not the program.

Even if you install a program that pushes your hardware to 100% usage on everything your PC should be able to run that way and stay cool.

IF its CPU overheating you need to redo the thermal paste, if its GPU then your fans or environment the PC is in is too hot for the fans to keep up.

GPU's are meant to be ran at their max all the time, CPU should always have some overhead but any overheating on any system at any time means you need to do some PC maintenance.

The first thing I do when getting a PC built is stress test to make sure it can handle max load and stay cool, but you have to consider your environment too, if you live in a really hot and humid environment then you cant dissipate the heat as easily.

Reminded me of someone here saying 75c was hot.

Temp barely hitting 60 so that is a no.

Motherboard: Z790 Aorus Elite AX
CPU: i9 12th gen 8 core at 3.20 ghz
RAM: 32 gigs
Video Card: NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3060 Ti

Running the game at 1920x1080 at 120fps. Monitor caps at 144.


The next time I see this happen, I'll try to grab some temp details from the PC.

As I said, the issue, specifically, is front-side USB bank behavior.

you are running an i9, it's going to be very hot esp if you are running it stock and without fps limit. that cpu alone consumes up to 300w and will run superbly warm without undervolt.

i hope you at least have a mesh pc case otherwise, that will be the biggest reason why your io port is this hot.

My guess is that it's not actually heat but over voltage that is causing the ports to malfunction.

[BEEP!]

Playing at 3440x1440p 100-144 the majority of the time's some places on the map run around 80-90 with max settings but shadows at high & my temps never really go past the mid 60c.

Doesnt matter the location, that means something is wrong with the air flow in your box.

I would recommend HeavyLoad for stress testing.

Start with 5 min tests and work way up to 1 hour stress on cpu and gpu at same time.

Nope. No heat issues for me. Played on 1080/60 for 100+ hours. My 3060 Ti stayed below 60c with no problems. CPU sat below that.

that can be the case if the guy turns on auto oc, which is possible.

folks do not ever turn on auto oc, it's going to push your system to it's literal limits.
