PC is overheating (Problem Fixed) (FPS from 120 changed to 60)

[PizzaMojo]

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

You didn't even specify what is that is overheating exactly nor what you mean with overheating.
If it's the CPU, doesn't matter if it's optimized or not, the CPU cooler should be able to handle it, if it doesn't once again it's either a bad cooling solution or BIOS/AGESA problem that you must address.

Having 90-100% GPU utilization means you're not CPU bound, so it can actually be a good sign, if your CPU utilization is high then your GPU utilization will go down because the CPU will bottleneck the GPU, having a low GPU load means you're not using it at its full potential, and while this is perfectly fine with very old games it's a bad sign with new and demanding ones, it's a clear CPU bottlenecking sign.

And to reply to the guy who said you must use liquid cooling with your CPU, that's simply NOT true, liquid cooling isn't inherently better, what is true instead is that you must use a good cooler, doesn't matter if air or liquid and that thermal paste should be applied correctly and that you have a proper air flow inside your case.

In case you don't have a monitor that can go above 60Hz is also completely useless and detrimental to render more than 60fps, just a waste of computing power and energy, that will only increase the temps.

5800x and 4080super ..no heat problems here

@Dee
The Voltage Converters wont spread their heat to the CPU.
They can get hot, because they may have bad heat dissipation, but they only produce around 10% of the heat the CPU emmits.
These 5-15 Watt of heat are usually simply blown out of the case, and can not influence the CPU.

@PizzaMojo
Download some Tools to check your PC.
Something like GPU-Z, GPU Tweak 3 or MSI Afterburner for reading out the temps of your graphics card.
And something like CPU-Z or Core Temp to check the temps of your CPU.

Then you can use FurMark to stress you GPU and Prime95 to stress your CPU.

But I actually think your problem lies somewhere else.
Your PC shouldnt crash even when CPU and GPU overheat.

I would check the RAM by running MemTest for a while.

But first thing should be checking if the case fans are clean and running.

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.

i'm using an Air Cooler and my pc doesnt overheat. I didnt even use an good one xD you guys realy think its only the cooler. The Mainboard is important too but quess what. Nobody believe what i say ;)

What CPU and GPU are you using, because that is a very important factor. Heat saturation within the case is something you must consider when choosing a cooling solution.

My 7900x has a tdp of 170w (more watt, more heat) and a 4090 which will hit over 400 tdp. I cannot use an air cooler with my CPU. My case would saturate too quickly. My parts wouldn't overheat and cause a shutdown but they would throttle.

Seems to run hot but not as hot as Hellblade2 that was scary.

[=PixelSwarm=]

Cap your fps to bring down the temps.

Looks like someone bought 10$ 50W air cooler for his 120W CPU

[^NooMerCy^]

Guys its simple while shader compilation nexon is mining whit your pc to make money just let them mine wtf

[Wehzy]

Ryzen 5600x / RTX 2060 and i've no issues at all and my PC has only ONE fan. CPU gets a bit hot like 74° but thats totally fine for a ryzen cpu. Also my FPS are capped to 120.

Running a 7800X3D with a 7900XTX red devil and it runs at 63C and 71C on 1440p hovering around 190/200fps max settings. Wonder how yours is overheating

[PizzaMojo]

changed fps from 120 to 60 and now it works. Even changed the grafik to ultra again. The game definitely needs to be optimized

[Pixelica]

Limit your in-game FPS to 60, and background application to 30 FPS

Uhm no? This is the first unreal engine 5 games that runs pretty well and i don't get any fps drops on my 5 years old gpu. Meanwhile other games like starship troopers which also uses UE5 engine literally almost killed my PC. I think something is wrong with your set up. You said its new so it could be a broken product if it crashes your whole PC.

Everyone is automatically jumping to the conclusion that it's CPU/GPU cooler related but have ignored the most basic aspect of potential cooling, his airflow.

You've listed your internal hardware, but haven't mentioned what case and how many fans you're running or what model coolers/GPU you have. We need more information.

Are you on a positive or negative pressure setup? Full tower, M-atx, ITX case? Fan sizes and how many draw vs exhaust, and what positions (Top, bottom, front, rear)..

It doesn't matter how good your coolers are if your case isn't properly dissipating/removing the heat.

Ever heared about undervolting my guy?
With that kinda rig you definetly should have
