Anyones pc overheating while playing poe?

[WhateverNevermind]

I can play poe for a few hours and i legit can smell my pc getting hot.. i can play fortnite or gta5 for hours and it does huff and puff like with poe..

ik poe is poorly optimized but can it ruin my cpu playing it?

The game will never ruin your computer. Poor cooling and hardware will.

Your PC seems poorly optimized to be honest.

If your PC overheats that means you have a hardware issue in that your PC can not dissipate the heat that it generates. this is common in laptops. It doesn't really matter that other games don't push your PC to it's limit, but any PC that hits its load limit and then cannot dissipate that heat, is a badly designed PC. You need to clean it out of dust, make sure all the fans are working correctly, and maybe upgrade some fans or cooling if the cleaning doesn't work.

If your PC can't run at 100% load, well that's a PC issue.


If your PC overheats, as you describe, yes your PC can damage itself, but it should shutdown in order to prevent that. Monitor the heat on your GPU and CPU. You should probably keep those temps under about 90C. The lower the better.

Fortnite and Minecraft have similar requirements and GTA V which has never had any gfx overhauls requires a bit more than fortnite.

What weird games to compare this to.

well i got a ryzen 3, new mobo, 16 gigs, 1070gtx, i upgraded this year, poe is on my ssd.. no matter what game i run on the pc for hours..its fine. but when i play poe for hours it gets way hotter and like i said i could smell like plastic burning or something.. also there was a sound coming from the pc

so i havent played poe since.. just wondering if anyone else had this issue while playing poe. I thought it mightbe poe because it onlyhappens on poe and ik poe is poorly optimized.

A game, poorly optimized or not, cannot overheat your PC unless your PC has a serious design issue. It's your PC that has the issue.

The game say "Hey, OS, pleas give me more CPU and GPU cycles". The OS, and hardware say "OK". system fails. this is a system failure. The PC shouldn't say "OK" if it can't do it. The fault lies in your PC not sinking enough heat on a full load. Run some load tests for a while on your PC and you will get the same overheating issues.

hmm.. is there some program i should be using to run tests? also what can i used to monitor heat, any suggestion?

I use Open hardware Monitor:

https://openhardwaremonitor.org/

I'm not sure what to use to load up the PC for load testing though, the Open Hardware Manager only keeps track and logs the info. It's nice though because it will also record voltages and other information.

Maybe someone else can suggest a loading tool.

Change thermal paste on cpu.

[DaTank]

GTA V has amazing detail but not graphics.

Run Prime95 to stress test your cpu

I use MSI afterburner to monitor my temps or you can use deserts suggestion

Yes, but also no, I mean, Its Path of Exile

This game does have a problem with heating.

Npe, that's your PC. The game may "have a problem" in that it loads your PC to 100%, but heating is not a problem with a game.

GTA has never had crazy good graphics. I didn't on release and it certainly doesn't now.

Define Hot?
Have you GPU-Z installed, if so give us temps, if not download and check temps.

Gpu-Z//MSI Afterburner are great for monitor temps
Prime 95 is not exactly for beginners, no offence and they even state it can toast your CPU if you don't have a clue what you're doing.
Amd and your Ryzen 3 ( ?) 35-40c is norm Idle 104f on idle with an Air(fan) cooler maybie 115 f or 46c with a load. Just guessing because you did not specify your cpu(2300, 3300, 1200)
Mine runs avg at 72c on an Intel 8770k and hits 87-88 top under load though I have seen 92c(Noctua 140mm fan cooled) but that is not out of bounds for my cpu. I'd panic if I saw 99 or above, esp in an hour or so of gaming with my AIO/.water cooling I have now.
