If your CPU getting hot...

[nurlan2007944]

...don't play. I'm serious.

I have i9-12900k with a little undervolt, 4090, 64gb ddr5 and my temps are: 19-23c idle, 55-60c in most games, up to 72c while rendering videos and working. Room temperature is 20-22c. GPU temps are up to 52c as well, even in most demanding games.

Paste is good (Grizzly), Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 with custom fan curve for the best cooling. PC case has superb airflow with lots of fans. However, only THIS GAME spikes to 82c. Yes, 82c is not that bad in most situations, but we are talking about my average temperature, while people in some discussions even have 90-100c with shutdowns.

Game is in EA, it has some serious problems for some people with performance and still has a long way to go before it gets good optimisation for every system. I run this game in 3440x1440 with Epic settings, DLSS Quality, getting 90-120fps and 4090 just powering through the game engine anyway. I locked fps to 120.

In the starting zone my CPU temps are 45-55c, in the first village with 2-5 AI enemies it stays at 55c, but if I load the game from the menu or go to the heli CPU goes to 80c+ instantly. So my only solution here is to wait for more updates and fixes, you are not loosing anything if you don't play GZW right now.

Edit: I'm reading that some people clock down their GPU and CPU to play this game... Are you serious? Wait for the fix from the developers and don't mess with your system. If you really want to do something - update all drivers and BIOS.

80-90 C is perfectly fine. When you hit 90 or more, now you have a problem.

It's definitely unoptimized. I also run Grizzly paste, I7 10700F. After 2.1 hours of gameplay, I was sitting at 78C. No liquid cooling, just fans.

What was your spike temperature? Also, you can save on some of that by locking it to 60FPS - really no reason to go above that.

Spike was 85c. I have 160hz monitor, so I try to get 160 fps / 160hz for the best experience

same here i have to refund too much risky

Yeap, but it could be a great game after some time

Yeah thats true im really sad for this refund

[Prozac]

I see much potential.

Update: I've tried CP2077, Manor Lords, Cities Skylines, ARMA REFORGER, TARKOV and some 4X strategies (CPU demanding games in general) - no spikes, just 45-55c as usual, so it's a game problem for sure

You reach almost the temperature to cook spaghetti..

[~ Requiem ~]

With that hardware it's literally impossible to blame the user/PC.
And I don't think 80-90+ c° is normal when in other games your average is 60° at best.

I just notice this and did some research on reddit too. Even people with custom water loops to high end coolers are reporting temps spiking at 90c to 100c. Its the Game.

Its not optimized what so ever. Only 1/4 people are reporting that they're not having issues. 3/4 are reporting high temps on CPUs.

Do research on Reddit and Discord before blaming someones RIG its the game.

I am with a lot of you on this game crashing issue. I lost four loaded kits due to crashing. I was finally able to figure out why the game kept crashing. I am running a Gigabyte Aorus Master Z690 with an Intel I 9 12900K, RTX 4080, 64GB DDR 5 XMP1, dual M.2 NVME raid 0, with a 49" 160 MHZ wide (data, discord, Streams) and a 45" 240MHZ curved wide (gaming). Hardware runs any game on max resolution over 150FPS. Tarkov, Hell Divers, BF 2042, COD, you name it. I started watching the temperatures of the CPU and GPU because the Blue screen of death is Timeout Watchdog Error. This when the CPU loses communication or voltage due to overheating. My temperatures were getting up to 90 degrees celcius on CPU and GPU. This is not acceptable and the motherboard will shut down the system. In order to bring down the temperatures you must First disable any overclocking software or bios overclocking settings. Second set you Video Graphics card settings in windows to balanced or performance. Last turn down your in game graphics to medium. Turn up your cooling fans on your CPU and GPU if you have the ability. This was the only way I was able to play this game and play for 3 HOURS without crashing. My temps came down to 45 Degrees CPU and 65 Degrees GPU. My system is not cheap, nor should I be experiencing this at all, but the game is in early development, and maybe this thread will help a lot of you at least run the game and provide some feedback for the developers, if they even decide to read it. I would appreciate positive feedback and results. If i am helping you, Your Welcome.

12900k official specification: Max Operating Temperature 100 °C

any more questions ?

Sure, only one, learn to read properly

Max temp for my CPU has been 70c and GPU 75c. Put some more fans in your case tbh.

4080 super
12900k I9 OC
32 GB DDR5
Nv.me 2 4th gen SSD
CPU is watercooled
GPU is not

GPU temp with epic, on 1440p, with DLSS/Frame gen is 51-56c
CPU temp is 51-56 with spikes to 72 during asset loads, but I have seen it get to 68.

None of those temps scream "Danger, danger Will Robinson!" to me.
