CPU overheat

[Boris Viandox]

hello , i've been playing the game all night and noticed that my cpu was really heating

when opening the task manager it seems like its 100% usage at all time on the worldmap , when in buildings , battle or cities its between 30 to 60% use

thanks MSI i got a fan boost mode but i fear it will damage my computer over time (its approx one year old)


specs:

win 10

gtx 1060

8gb ram

intel i7-8750h 2.20 ghz 12cpus

is the issue on my end or its related to the alpha state ?

it almost never overheat , maybe on elite dangerous sometime but its more a GPU issue on that game

thanks

Consider not playing on a laptop, all of which are prone to overheating

[Boris Viandox]

yeah right i'll just buy another computer


i bought this for practical reason (changing home often for work)

i never had problems with any other games

The game is CPU heavy. That's one. You have a laptop CPU, so I will just assume it's a laptop. They are prone to overheating and thermal throttling. That's two. And for the last, what do you consider overheating? What kind of temperatures are we talking about. People often underestimate what hot actually means when it comes to hardware.

In the bios you can edit to make the CPU fans run at 100% 24/7. I had to do that for Tom Clancy Wildlands awhile ago. Btw idk about Intel, but AMD's are built to run hot, so mine has been fine running 75+ for years.

i don't know the exact temp , i searched some built in fonction to check temp on w10 (there is none) and dont feel like installing third party thermometer software

but when its not in full fan mode , it hurt the tip of my finger when putting them on the cpu spot

i read overheating was over 90°c i'd say its between 60 and 75 when not in fullfan mod

CPU are not like GPU you dont got laptop specific ones , its a legit i7

i think the game must be patched for that

i have a PC i7 8700k, GTX1070, liquid cooling etc and mine is getting very hot

You generally don't want your CPU heat to go over 80-85°C and 90°C is dangerous, potentially harmful for your CPU in the long run. To put this bluntly, it can kill your computer.
This is why desktops come with CPU coolers to help disperse the heat.

If you want to measure your CPU heat, get a program like "Core Temp" install that, run the game, play for a little bit, then check on the temperature with the game still running.


If you want to be "convenient" buy a low end laptop for work, and a mid end desktop for gaming. Laptops are not recommended for demanding video games at all. "Gaming laptops" only exist as a profit scheme to those who sell them.
Sure you can still play regular video games that don't demand as much, like older games, 2D games, games like Disco Elysium etc. but not big games like Bannerlord. Even my desktop struggles a bit with that.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ , i expected that to be a game end issue but if you're uber cooled beast is heating too i might wait for optimisation , i jsut fixed my "cooling pad to put under the laptop" but it might not be enough

(the usb hubs were low quality i just had to pull the pins a bit and now electrical contacts is fixed , it was like a broken jack wire you had a little working spot and the wobble room made it impossible to work)

i bought it for gaming as i had long timelaps at my mother's house and at my apt far away btw it works like a charm even on newer games (HL:A BFV RDR2 etc all works without issue)i bought a model that had cooling systeme rethinked to optimize it but its the first time i really have cooling issues that's why i did a bit of research on the CPU heavy bannerlord

anyway thanks for you answers i hope it get fixed cuz even if this game is flaggelation due to the difficulty (for me at least) i really like it

I may be late on the party, but I have encountered this thread while googling "mount and blade 2 overheats laptop". Anyways, I had the same issue with temperatures (95 GPU HOTSPOT). I tried both disabling shadows and other stuff but it weren't work. However, I changed "fps lock" in settings from 200 to 60 and turned on v-sync and right after that my GPU became gradually cooler (95 at hotspot -> 68 at hotspot). I hope it helps to someone who's gonna look for an answer in future.

First of all.. laptop.. no no

Second of all what's the actual reported CPU temp under full load? There are tons of third party tools for this or you can use built in windows functionality.

100% CPU usage for long periods isn't good for systems but if it's only a couple hours daily i wouldn't worry about it.

If your system was really overheating (and not just a warm to the touch notebook) you'll notice the CPU/GPU starts throttling (leading to major fps dips) and eventually shuts down the system all together.

I suggest EVERYONE get Core Temp. It's free, lightweight, runs in the background, and starts before any other process, to detect if an emergency overheating shutdown is necessary. Great for overclocking when lots of restarting is needed.

You can set an emergency shutdown CPU temp, to prevent minor damage or catastrophic damage.

Been using it for almost a decade, and it's saved my PC many times from stupidly coded games.

I wish there was GPU version to shutdown games that try and run at 1,000+ frames a second, which damages the capacitors on graphics cards, but for now everyone should be using Core Temp.

fps-limit, fps-limit, fps-limit, fps-limit, fps-limit, fps-limit, fps-limit, fps-limit, fps-limit,


always set a fps-limit! ... this should be known from everybody playing games on PC!
if not: every desktop will explode after 5 min, laptop after 1 min from overheating...

edit: a limit 100 doesnt make any sence if your PC only have 70 fps average. it must be 10-20% lower then average fps for the game, game-settings.

I'm no expert but something's up. My fans acutally start sounding at certain times during transitions and at some maps and I have a somewhat high end stationary. 3080 GFX card, 16GB ram, i7 7700 CPU. This is the only game I have that I notice this. My fps ranges from 80-160 fps but not quite a correlation with fan speed that I can tell... Revs up and then drops down, revs up again. but mainly during transitions. Again only game I have noticed this. All other games are quiet

[kegomatix]

Definitely a high CPU usage game. My 8700k OC'd to 5ghz is running 100% more often than not so your 8750h certainly will be. Sustained 100% load is no joke, you've gotta have some good cooling solutions to keep up with that and most the time laptops will have troubles there. Laptop cooling pads can make a world of difference.

I think was mentioned above but you should not encounter any damage. Sustained high temps will definitely shorten the lifespan of components but you shouldn't encounter any damage as it will thermal throttle before that can happen.

Core Temp is excellent. I'll add that one can also run it just "on-demand" and it's not necessary to absolutely use it resident, but it does have such a feature.

On Gaming Laptop: Nobody should be gaming on a laptop without also having an accessory laptop fan. Laptop hardware is going to be more robust and have better performance and stability under higher temp loads than a PC, by necessity. But, an accessory laptop fan is an awesome thing to have.

Google "Laptop Cooling Pad/Fan" and buy one, OP. It should help. If not, make sure you clean out all your laptop's vents, too. With some laptops, this can actually be sort of troublesome and can even require partial disassembly to do properly. Follow the manufacturer's instructions or a well documented guide.

PS: Don't underestimate the load that pre-installed mfr apps can have as well as other applications. Disable those as you can and try running disconnected from the 'net and check your CPU load after a few minutes to see i you can detect something eating up more processing power than it should or than you want it to have.
