Warning Be careful this game with Destroy your Computer (Heat)
Make sure to download a program to monitor CPU Temps in this game as it is essentially a stress test for CPU's even good ones will max out at 100%.


There is so much bad information in these responses. Let me touch on a few of them.

!. I have over 30 hours already in this game in it's first week my Temps are under 70C.
I know how Computers work and I know the wide breathe of various builds that are out there and is why I am issuing this warning for I know that many need to check cpu temps on this game while others will be fine.

2. If your CPU is only maxing out at 70's Celsius that's great for you but others are not and need to be aware of the issue they could have (so check your CPU temps in LONG chopper rides).

3. No it is not safe to run a Modern CPU at any temp under 95C which some people have said in this chat for multiple reasons. One, reason being that it adds Heat into a system and could cause GPU to also pick up heat and give your System fans a hard time dealing with all that extra heat. Two, You might not be using a high quality Motherboard and a MOS-FET or a voltage controller could blow also killing the CPU delivering a lethal jolt to the CPU (I have seen this before).


Conclusion for this Thread... Simply Download a Program that will show your CPU's Max temp over a period of time like MSI afterburner or CPUID's Hareware monitor. and see what the max temp your cpu hit while you played Greyzone over a period of 1 hour or more.

If your CPU temps are below 80C then good for you please move on.

I think you are mistaking this game for your cooling system going bad and probably needs replaced. Think of this as if you were driving and your brakes gave out because your car was 15 years old and you never did any maintenance then blamed the stop sign.

If other games aren't pushing your cpu temps that high and it's only this game I would probably just say it's GZW.

Brotha on the chopper ride I was sitting at 100% usage the entire time with a i9 10850k undervolted. I am warning people because if they have not done recent maintenance (new thermal paste ect..) and/or know how to undervolt the cpu you will destroy your rig so fast on this game. There is no game that is harder on CPUS that I have seen and it's not even close.

Runs fine, might wanna clean out the dust bunnies.

The helicopter rides are BY FAR the most buggy, laggy mess in GZW. My performance also drops to record lows at very specifics points along rides, predictably so actually.

Given the game has serious performance problems across the board and repeated complaints about CPU usage, you are probably right; it is the game.

You might want to open MSI afterburner while you play and check after a chopper flight to see what your cpu cores peaked at. You would be wise to do so

80+ fps and very little lag spikes and my cpu never gets close to safe operating temps except when i first start the game as it uses the CPU to start the shader calculations

5800x and a 4060

I've yet to get over 41C.

Might be your rig..

My pc runs fine bro, no need.

smooth 57°C...5800X+4090....guess its your rig

same for me. r9 5800x, triple fan AIO, 5 120mm case fans. Never touched over 85C in any game, but GZW spikes my temps to over 90 just booting up the game and up to 100C on the chopper. Terribly optimized. and everyone saying "wOrKs FiNe fOr mE" is just trying to cope with the fact that they bought a **** game. even with optimization issues aside the game is an absolute mess.

If your cpu only hits 57c during max usage (stress tests) then good for you but others are not so fortunate and this game will destroy their PC's. So you are just doing people a disservice with comments like this.

CPU on my desktop hits 100% usage and locks up my whole pc, using monitoring service temps are off the charts. My laptop with a mid CPU runs at 65-75 degrees no issues.

Thats a wrong way of thinking.
Maybe its one of the games which is really stress your system.
I dont want to rule something out that the game is maybe here and there not optimized but maybe your rig need a check at least cpu bios settings?

I have everyhing maxxed out in 2k, have min 175 fps and my Cpu temp is between 55 and 60 deg. Which is completly fine for a i7-13700k.
Even during the heli flights.

As far ive read here in the forum some threads so some people mentioned wrong cpu bios settings may cause the problem with i9 series.

Could be something wrong on your side.

a cpu working at 100% is bad ? it just do its job bro just cool your systhem
