CPU 70 Degrees in Menus i9 13900K Watercooled

[Lijah]

CPU temps are really hot even in the menus

Edit:
Update to this, I managed to disable Turbo Boost by adding a key to the Windows registry (it's hidden by default) and I'm suddenly getting 42 degrees in the menu.

I found out how to do this here https://www.geeks3d.com/20170213/how-to-disable-intel-turbo-boost-technology-on-a-notebook/

I got The Finals tested on an 11th gen Intel cpu and the temps were fine in and out of menus so it seems the game might not be optimised for later generation CPUs.

Hope this helps anybody with the same issue.

70 isn't "really hot" for a 13th gen (or even really previous gen). worry if you hit 95. Most modern games that don't fully utilise my cpu I get around 60 degrees, my cpu also sits around 70 in this game, its fine.

Intel CPUs should start throttling at the 80 mark, you're not supposed to hit 90

I looked it up, it says throttling occurs at 90-100, which is kind of insane, for main menu to be hitting 20 degrees below throttle on the latest gen cpu

its normal dude. I'm running a 13700k also water cooled. I've been building PC's for 20 years and am a certified computer technician. Most games don't utilise the CPU to the fullest, and the main menu is most likely warming it up because of lack of frame cap since its not doing much at the menu, your frame rate is most likely higher than when you're in a game which heats things up. What's your frame rate at in the menu? I'm generally around 165fps (at maxed settings). If there is an option to frame cap in the menu (which I don't think there is) I would set it to 60, but either way, it's not going to hurt anything at 70 degrees.

UE5.2 utilize ALL cores, so that's OK.

My fps is at 60 in the menus.

I'm a game developer, I get flack if my game is hitting 50 degrees in the menu and we probably have a higher poly count (more going on) than what is happening in The Finals menu.

most people burning up their hardware never seem to have v-sync on.. asking their PCs to go full bore all the time, wasting energy and producing more heat than is needed to have a good gaming experience

There's no way OP isn't trolling by calling 70 "really hot."

V-Sync on or off makes no difference, frames still 60

All I'm gonna say is, RIP anyone who doesn't have a water-cooled £700 cpu

vsync causes input delay, which nobody wants in a competitive game.

V-sync on for me locks me to my monitors 144fps.. confirmed.. v-sync off the fps fly to over 240fps+

To be honest, the CPU should only be being utilised heavily when you're making heavy calculations, there's no reason for it to be pushing 70 at the menus. If that's the Unreal 5 standard, it's pretty bad

most games have my 10900k at 50-60c, this game im seeing temps hit 80c at some points but it keeps at around 70c, on an EK 360aio
for gpu its margin of error in terms of temperature

its kinda crazy that my usage, power draw, and temps are within margin of error while in the menu compared to ingame, for both cpu and gpu.
its not an uncapped fps thing, its as if the main menu is a level and the performance is nearly identical to gameplay

Great game btw, very fresh take on the FPS genre
