GTA5 overheating cpu

[Zlokob]

so, i noticed when i play gta5 for an hour or more, it pretty much overheat my cpu. max temps readings 77-80 C, depending on the core. this is only with gta5. playing arma3 for hours never go past 70 C, also in other games like payday2, never go past 65 C.

my cpu is i7 2600 @3.4GHz, with cooler master cooler (not very good one, only a bit better than stock one). i know second generation i7s are prone to a bit higher heats, but im not sure why gta5 is making it 10-15C more than other games?

also some cores go up to 95% usage in gta5. so im wondering do i have to get some better cooling or are those temps safe for that high usage?
tnx.

the temperature is definitely too high.
intels tcase temp is about 73°c
it will damage your cpu in the long run

clean your cooler, remove dust, make sure you have airflow. if not add some case fans

gta5 is also a cpu hog. having decent cooling is important

What case do you have?

why i can't play gta v online

thermaltake's tsunami dream, with 3 coolers (side, front and back).

yea, i think i read that max i7 2600 temp should be 73-76. but with all other games it never goes over 70. im not sure if those temps i wrote in original post are just peaks of temps or something. its just readings from hwmonitor, after playin, readings of max temp.

gta5 has a lot of physics going on. high cpu usuage is normal, the temperature on the other hand not.

check the thermal compound, remove dust, see if the case fans are aligned in the right direction.
bottom and front should suck the air in, while back and top should pump out the warm air

tnx for helping, i will check out those. what thermal paste do you recomend? is cooler master gold good (i have that atm), or silver one is better?

which paste to use is not that important as long you dont do oc. its more a matter of how much to use. putting too much thermal compound can disturb the temerature exchange

[Zlokob]

yea i dont oc cpu, its locked anyways. tnx mate, i'll reapply paste, clean coolers and try again. cheers

70-80 is really, not thar dangerous in the logn ru nit may damage ur Motherboard/cpu, if u have a stock cooler, ushould grab something like a Cryorig h7, for 20$ or just a Better cooler in general.

i have cooler master, but cheaper one, it was like 15 bucks or so. it performas only slightly better than the stock one. i'll first try reapplying thermal paste and cleaning coolers a bit, if it doesnt help, i'll deff go with a slightly better cooler.

80C is NOT TOO MUCH
u should use a laptop where the IDLE temp is 110C, at load it goes around 145C it still lives my dude!!¨
you SHOULD NOT be worried
thank you

haha yea i found some threads where people say up to 80 is not to worry. thank you :) but still id love to drop a few at least, i'll try paste and celaning.

I want to ask why I bought gta v in steam activication its code erro ? and gta v i so to speak Chinese

145° "C", sure, more like F

Some has to learn the difference between celsius and fahrenheit
