CPU overheating like hell

[Byonix_]

Been playing starfield since the release but ive got a problem i think my CPU is overheating sometimes it reach 100 degree while playing and 45 at idle. I've got a I5-13600KF and my AIO is a BeQuiet Pure Loop 2 240. I have tried to reduce the usage of my cpu in the edit power panel of windows, check the BIOS and even after that is still reach 100 degree so if you have any idea thanks?

i5 might be the problem. I could be wrong.

Not the I5, but the cooling itself .... check the cool pasta, loop, etc also case fans, etc. I very much doubt this is the only game .... There's something waaayyy off

Don't cheap out on the cooler, thermal paste. Look up a guide on manually setting your vcore, offsets, etc. the auto settings are horrible.

Some coolers have an issue with clogging.

Yep, I'm running the same CPU with a beQuiet Dark Rock 4 aircooler and it's handling Starfield fine, so absolutely needs to look at his cooling loop... Maybe clogged up and not getting water through it properly, or something?

all those topics are the same it's somehow always the game!!

When i grab the tube where the water go througt there is a little shaking like the water is flowing

I will try to unplung and check the thermal paste when i get tool for it

could be many things , one to look at is the orientation of the radiator, extremely important for coolant flow, the pump can get all gunked up or the impeller can fail , the rad can get plugged up, inside and fins crushed or plugged on the outside, if you're getting that hot your thermal paste is probably all dried out , the pump could be not making good contact with the cpu, i used water cooling for a few years, i went back to air , their cheaper and less trouble and work just as good

It is the problem, that cpu barely can handle all that in the game. Need a much better cpu, like i9 series 11th generation or better. Multi cores is recommended and speed up to min of 3Ghz or better. Idk what else that user has in that broken pc, but barely can handle the situations and it will CTDs, alot.

Thermal paste 100%

that cpu is more than enough to run the game, it's a hardware problem, the cooler probably failed

You completely misunderstood his CPU, as he's running a 13th gen i5 CPU... It will run Starfield fine... The problem is almost certainly a cooling issue...

If it were the pump; it wouldn't stay running. I had a pump fail on a krakken 360 and it wouldn't even keep windows running. AIO also become heat soaked and are not high end coolers. I noticed cooler temps with upgrading stock aio coolers with corsair static pressure fans.

If have seen pumps that act like they are doing all the right things, but, in reality, they are not. I have seen liquid cooling systems that lost all their coolant... no idea where it went, but, after opening the system, no one was home. Re-gooping the CPU is a good start, not to mention making sure the radiator is free of dust/deris, but, if your idle temps are still that high, time to replace the cooler.

I am just not a fan of liquid cooling, unless you are doing SERIOUS over-clocking. For 99.99% of folks, a good air cooler is more than adequate to the task.

Just because no one has asked, are the fans on the radiator working and are they clean or dust covered? Check the fan speed curve to increase airflow through the radiator ... and maybe hit the radiator with a can of compressed air to blow out any dust.

No Dust at all all the fan are working i think the idea that the problem is the thermal paste is most likely this one
