Issues with temperature.
Every game I've ran, nothing beats how hot this game makes my PC.

This is a complaint everywhere, temperatures are getting insanely high for no apparent reason.
73-79 C Cpu
(AMD FX 4300 Quad Core)

72-25 C GPU
(AMD Radeon HD 7770)

60+ Motherboard

This is ridiculous, I get these temperatures standing still and doing nothing. The game runs perfectly fine, but I dont want to ruin my PC playing this game.

I put everything on ultra low, ultra low grass density, turned off everything I could and I still get this.

People have been actively complaining about this since 2014, the only thing that arose from the threads were "Oh well, it's an early access game. SURELY it'll be fixed" :undyne: Yeah. They sure fixed it, alright.


I even put on V-Sync / Frame Cap. Temperatures still suck.

((EDIT:: I get these temperatures with no other game, 70 is as high as it gets with CPU/GPU in something such as Fallout 4 and The Witcher 3.))

72c is just fine when under load

For a i5-4570 it is not. It's the highest temp the processor could stand for a short time. And I meant the limit for the processor not the game. There were the hightest temps 65. Not critical but too high.

No complaints here.
4790K (delidded, overclocked and undervolted) and 1070 (overclocked and undervolted) both staying below 70C with fan speeds below 800 RPM. About the same temperatures as every other demanding game.

i would be looking for a program to increase your fan speed if i was you.. or atleast set a custom fan curve so it cools better at higher temps..
Darklord Aug 10, 2017 @ 11:22am 
No need for a program, I can do this via board. Fans are currently at 881 rpm max. My cpu is max around at 50° on idle. GPU is at 45°.

Are you saying its at 72c under load or idle? Because under load 72c is fine, anything over 75 i would start to worry but it wont harm it at 72

It's yet uncomfortable. Standard idle temp is 38°. The manual of the i4570 processor says that the threshold is 72° before the heat sensors force the processor to throttle down. The GPU can handle much more but not the CPU. This ""bug" is years old. It was better for a while but the latest patches made it worse.

Tcase has nothing to do with core temperatures. Actually 72°C (core temps) is mighty cold for a CPU which throttles at 100°C. Look at all those laptops and servers running at 90+°C.

Max 63°C CPU (AMD FX6300) , Max 65°C GPU (GTX960

Maybe you need a better Cooler/Vent for your CPU. And a better Case for your overall PC with better Air Flow&similiar so the Heat doesn't get stuck inside.

I also need a better CPU-Cooler/Vent. Cause the one i got was actually made for a much slower CPU with only 2 cores ;x yet still 63°C CPU Temp is quite acceptable.

You might want to invest in a better cooler, my i7 7700k is a hot cpu and its idles around 30 with a nice coolermaster fan

Thanks for the suggestion. I stay with my solution. Most of the time the temps are absolutely normal and 38° is nothing. The air flow is good. There are very few instances where I get very high temps and one of it is "The forest". The second was Metro-last light on ultra high and the core killer prime95. That is just crazy after a recent update. I tried The forest with medium settings and the temps stay at 57°. I guess it's o.k. but I still think there is a problem with the game that produce such high temps on high settings.
