Computer overheats after a 30 minutes game

[zhangduo_0105]

Is it just me or anyone else? After I run the game, the video card and the CPU start to be out of control. The PC becomes burning hand hot after 30 minutes. I'm using RTX 3090 ti and intel I7-11700k . I have not launched the game since I noticed the situation because it is so hot that it might burn some hardware.

It is as if 250W CPU runs overclocked by default because Intel fake spec and AIB's not even bothering with it so it probably consumes even more in peaks and the GPU happily consumes 600W peak power during transient loads because of poor power stage management.

I do wonder why indeed, it must be the game !

have you actually measured the temps of the GPU and CPU? If you have not then they may not be getting too how. If you have liquid cooling then the case can get very hot around the radiator but the parts could still be ok.

Define overheating with the exact temps your CPU/GPU are hitting after 30 minutes in game. Also, how good/poor is the ventilation in your Case?

I have a Fractal Design R7 with the mesh top, full Noctua Fans with a Gen 13 i9 & 4070 Ti Super and even after a solid 7 hours of gameplay (no joke, yesterday the game finally froze on me after playing for 7 hours straight without shutting the game down) my CPU/GPU temps NEVER exceed ~68-70C, which is perfectly fine even though it "feels" hot if I place my hand over the top grate.

Your pc needs better cooling I guess... I mean mobo should shut it off. but more likely I think your power supply isn't strong enough for this and it caused a crash, and you looked after saw it was hot, and blamed that. I did same thing when my last power supply was going bad sigh...

But if it is overheating you need to rework your whole cooling setup.

This game uses your hardware like any well optimized game should. It does not cause any higher temps than any other game that will max your cpu or gpu (barely uses my cpu).

Turn your gpu fan curve up to run at 100% when your temp goes over 60.

Blow the dust out of your computer, maybe?

I don't think "well optimized" quite fit the bill though. I hope it will be one of these days though.

Lower the settings..use DLSS to get the load of your parts and cap fps.All of these lower the temps.

game do not look like much but I swear I hearing fan running hard

you might check the paste around your CPU it may have dried out. or you may need a better fan.

Its UE 5 its automatically designed to eat more then normal hence the 5 its 5th generation people use to gen 4 wich cme out in 2014 and did same exact ♥♥♥♥ to pcs not current gen. Also you should always be in mind about heat I over heated my first pc since then I got really nice cooling system for my case, liquid CPU cooler giant Koolermaster case with 6 case fans, and I blow it out on the reg. My only change up do now is find a more modern case with easy to remove and clean dust covers as this case actually pretty old used it for my last 2 builds lol

But yeah heat is no joke want to game get them case fans. And yes liqouds can be as good as some heatsinks but point is the heat is moved to top of the case so it vents out faster with my top fans cooling it, instead of the CPU heatsink being an inch or two from the GPU making all the heat pool in one location. If you do it right pc will run fine and it doubles as a space heater in the winter :P Like mine is on the floor on wheely bit that lets the PSU breath from bottom but I can move it around for easy acces, its defaintly a foot warmer in winter mornings I turn it so it blows hot air on my feet lol

Really? this is Unreal 5? I can't tell diff. I thought it been Unreal 4 for whole time with how plastic look still exist
