PC is overheating (Problem Fixed) (FPS from 120 changed to 60)
My AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D with a AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX is overheating after a Short Time and my PC is chrashing.
Edit: Changed the FPS from 120 to 60. Now it works

Looks like the game is pretty poorly optimized for some systems

It's just poorly optimized I was just in a zone that was lagging severely for no reason and when I left it, no longer lagging. Seems like a rush job if parts of the game are basically broken

Is your PC close to the wall, or in one of those desk cubby holes? Have you cleaned it lately?
There's a lot of reasons for overheating.

Its a New PC and it has enough Space. Doing a Update now for the GPU and maybe it will fix it

If your PC overheats it always means you have a heat dissipation problem with your computer.
Doesn't matter if a game or software can be particularly demanding, your cooling solution should still manage to keep it below dangerous temperatures, if it doesn't then you have a problem, and it's not the game.
I would check that the heatsink you're using is good enough, that the thermal paste has been applied correctly, that all your fans are working properly and there's no dust inside your case.
Consider it's summer, so outside temps are higher and heatsinks aren't as effective as during winter.
My way older and less powerful system with Ryzen 7 2700X and RTX 2070 reaches top temperatures of 72°C for GPU and 70°C for the CPU.

The thing is that this game is the only thing that makes my PC run at 100% out of nowhere. All other games run without problems and load. Be it Eldenring on High Garfik, Witcher or Cyberpunk with ray tracing

no way i have i7 12700k sappphire rx 7900 xtx 70 c for the gfx 50 ish for cpu water cooled
running at 1440p max settings i could run it at 4k but get this shimmering effect so 3k it is

It's most likely a more demanding game, check your settings, try to enable vertical sync or limit the fps.
If you have high CPU usage during shader compilation that's normal, still just saying overheating isn't exactly a measure...
Overheating as in °C? When? How long does it overheat if it does? Is it the CPU, GPU or both? What's the external temperature and humidity?
7950X3D is known to run hot in general and has a 120W TDP, and its max temp before throttling down should be 89°C.
A CPU with 120W TDP requires some very good cooling solution.

Also check this, it's old stuff but if you didn't update your BIOS you could still encounter the problem:

It pushed the cpu to the limit. it shouldn't be like that.

Do a stress test. Same results with regards to heat meant it's time for you to look at the case/room airflow as well as the cooling system/thermal paste to see if they are properly attached or applied... Don't use thermal paste that you have in storage for several years, get new one.

X3D for 7xxx series does have a problem if you did not update your bios due to the power draw for the SoC.

You buy cpu to push it to limits, not to slack... Maker of cpu ensure there's a limit. It's known and literally throttles your cpu. If all else fails, just cap FPS to 60 or lower...

I have a 7900x with a 4090 and temps stay at around 70c for both during gameplay. My CPU has a 240 AIO as exhaust at the top of case. You are using a AIO liquid cooler right? You can't use an air cooler with that CPU with a air cooled GPU. Also case airflow is also an important factor.

Don't give me the "it's only this game" BS. If your PC overheats on this it would over heat in any other game that pushes it as hard.

Ryzen 7 5800x / RTX 3070 and i have no problems.

5800X3D and 3080 and no problem

Graphics now set to medium and GPU utilization is now at 80%. If my motherboard or the cooling wasn't good, I would also have the problem with other games, but all the others run perfectly without any problems. Only this game is completely crazy so it's the game and not the PC. Especially I'm not the only one with this. The game is simply not well optimized yet. Helldivers 2, for example, also had the problem with the AMD graphics cards

I have now changed the FPS from 120 to 60 and now the load is at 60%
