CPU gets really hot

[Squig in a Barrel]

My Setup
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D
RTX 3080ti
16GB RAM

So as the TItle suggests, my cpu runs really hot while playing Lightyear Frontier. And I mean really hot 90-92°C. It does not just spike there but settles around that Temperature

I have not noticed any Performance Issues. The game runs smooth on high settings.
The Problem persists on low settings. And I tried D11 and D12.

This Temperature does not happen in any other Games. The highest Temps I got in a Game was Total War: Warhammer 3 and that was 85°C during a Spike.

Thanks for reading and any Ideas

For that CPU it's grand. If you aren't seeing throttling carry on.

I have seen that setting a fps limit for that game can help. I don’t know if it needs to be 60fps or just any as long as it has a limit.

smart.... to talk about problem and not telling what cooling you have... i have same setup as you but 32gb ram.. and have temps around 55-60

Yeah Sorry forgot that one. I am using a NH-U12A

Limiting FPS didn't help

Well we talk about a difference around 5 to 7 degrees between TW: Warhammer 3 and this game here.
At first its important to mention that Ryzen CPUs tend to have high running temperatures. My 7950x always runs around ~80 C° and thats fine for me. Its overclocked and watercooled but i know thats not the problem.

The problem is the 4090 that really heats up my system. The solution was to limit the FPS in newer games.

As you already mentioned your temperature dosn't change "at all" by lowering the graphical settings i suggest investing in a better CPU cooling.


Anyways you should also read about your CPU. As the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has a maximum OPERATING temperatur of 90 C° you must have either changed something in the BIOS/UEFI or deactivated heat inducted shutdown. This CPU normally should shut down your PC if it gets beyond 90 C°.

I have read about my CPU and know that it can reach these Temps. It is why I bought the bigger cooler. The Problem is that it settles at these high temperatures. Which it does not do in any other Games, exept for short spikes.

I did not change any BIOS/UEFI settings, as I don't know how to. I only updated the BIOS when I got the 5800X3D.

Than you for your Comment, I will look into getting a better Cooler.

Google how to setup curve optimizer for that CPU with allcore -15. helps.

7800x3D with an 7700XT here, have you tried undervolting your cpu? I'm running the game just sightly under the freesync limit and my cpu barely gets over 60c, but I do run it with -30 on undervolt, the 5800x3D is almost as good to undervolt, worth giving some research about it
