In case your not a total Idiot (no harm intended), what about your CPU temps?
Currently in Mainmenu i get 200-240 FPS with my I7-12700KF maxing out one core, every game setting on max.... CPU goes from 35 celsius in Windows/idle to 70 celsius after like 10 mins mainmenu...
Might be the case that you overheat your CPU if too long in this screen.
However if X4s mainmenu makes your CPU overheat to a hardcrash....
Well..... shouldnt happen....
Not saying FPS cap for mainmenu wouldnt be a good thing...
Why would sm1 need 200 FPS in mainmenu?
Pls Cap to 60 Egosoft...
Everything else is wasting power....
Are you using any Power-saving options from Windows?
No, that's the first thing I checked.
So far I played the game on high and haven't experience a single crash.
I once had a customer who told me the screen he bought is broken, it turns black if he dont use it for a few minutes... guess what....
You didnt give out much info like hardware specs or smth sooooo i start with the basic questions :P
You checked your CPU Temps?
I never really gave it much thought tho, until I saw this post.. Will pay more attn the next time it happens and see if its actually putting my monitor to sleep or what.
The old joke (probably true story):
"Customer service, how can I help you?"
"My computer won't turn on."
"Okay, let's go through the basics first. Is your computer plugged into a power outlet?"
"I don't know."
"How come, you don't know?"
"It's dark and I can't see behind the desk."
"Well, then, turn on a light and check!"
"I can't, there's a power outage right now."
Bit OT but it sounds like your CPU cooling is massively underpowered. A single core being maxed shouldnt really make a CPU go hot.
My cooler are setup for max silence...
CPU cooler BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro 4, +4 BE quiet Silent wings 4 for airflow...
Set them up to run below 50% as long as im below 75 celsius, using the Fanexpert from my Asus Strix z690-a board... works like a charm, makes no noise at all....
Lets as example say PlagueTale2 with RTX/DLSS3/All Settings Maxed/wqhd i get 90-120 FPS and stay 75-80celsuis with arround 70% Fanpower on CPU and 50% on casecooler during an 8 hour gaming session...
Wich is not bad at all. Seen way way worse for I7-12700KF...
If id tune them all to 100% sure id easy keep 60 celsius during RTX gaming...
However thats smth for Summertime.... if 40° celsius outside... thats when the fun part starts.
70° Celsius is not worry at all, as long as you have nuff reserves
I see. Sure its nothing to worry about, its just indicating that you cant use your CPU to its full potential, because you dont got sufficient cooling for that. The CPU will just throttle down when it gets to hot, and the boost speed wont be acchieved.
If you cant even run one core at maximum load for extended times, then most of its power is wasted. Couldve bought a much cheaper CPU for the same effect.
Was curious, because this is pretty common, a lot of people buy really powerfull CPUs and cant actually cool them.
But yeah, CPUs these days dont really get heat damage, they just clock down. Run slower but no risk. If you got the cash, maybe you should look into those $100 AIO water colors (like liquid freezer) they sell these days, they are better cooling and quieter than fans.
^Just a note about that, DLSS3 means your fps is actually half of what it indicates. So in reality, you got 45-60fps with smoothing activated. PlagueTale 2 is apparently horribly optimized tho.
DLSS3 is really something more appropriate for lower end GPUs, where you just cant get the framerate normally.
My CPU is far from throtteling or Bottlenecking due to heat as i have plenty of reserves.
And PT2 serves as good example cuz its known as hardware hole...
Besides considering only the 40er Gen supports DLSS3 im not sure if you can talk about lower end :steamfaceplam:
Im using Asus Strix 4070Ti (80-90 prettymuch stupid if you play in WQHD)
Weak is relative... Im easiely outperforming my pals 3080...
Atleast in WQHD, if id play 4k id got myself a 4080 but... meh.... why bother...
Dont think the reduced Bandwith from the 70ti can be called lower end if it still outperforms the 3080 cards for same price....
Whole System reaches 24.500 Points in 3DMark Timespy wich sets me somewhere at the top 5% of off alltime tests done...
And again with my plenty of reserves ive no problem cooling this rig at all...
Srsly before i slam a dirty cheap 100 bucks AIO on my CPU id rather go full Noctua or well.... spend some proppa cash for proppa AIO....
Didnt done that cuz i dont need to... not even close...
I mean you do you, its your system. I was just curious.
But no, you clearly dont have reserves if you cant keep a single core below 70 degrees. That it happens after 10 minutes shows that the cooler gets saturated.
You could buy the best hardware in the world, but it doesnt help much if you cant cool it. How much heat you can transport away determines how hard it can work.
The elitism about the "dirt cheap AIO" is silly though. Youve just tried to convince me that your even cheaper fan cooler is enough for the CPU, when its clearly insufficient. And any noob can buy expensive hardware, but its an actual skill to build a good system.
Id rather trust a solid conventional BeQuiet for 80 Bucks, then a AIO for 100....
TBH the 10 mins been a quick guess, its not like i done testing in Mainmenu with a timer/performance check, took a dump/made coffe, returned, noticed 70° CUPU+Fan on Low (-50%) thats fine, thats cool...
As i said no bottlenecks and throtteling during Benchmarks/RTX gaming, no Temp probs either....
8 Hrs RTX gaming and my temp is smwh arround 80° + CPU Fan on 75%....
Case cooling never more then 50%
Your "on paper" right with one core heating up that much beeing suspicious, however thats on "modern" Cpus like my I7-12700KF prettymuch normal if you stick to aircooling.
AMD user are currently joking stuff like "90 is the new 70"....
As i said a few times....
I set up my cooler the way they work now.
I have reserves because i can turn my CPU fan from 50% to 100% ya know -.-
Maybe its the usuall language problem in steamforums....
Or you didnt read propperly...
May i Ask wich CPU/cooling you use if its so much better?
Eh, youre thinking way too much about what im trying to say.
Modern CPUs slow down before they hit the thermal throttling limit, thats why "boost clocks" exist. Theyre also not just looking at "CPU temp" but have many different sensors all over the chip.
Modern high end CPUs, which includes 12700K, run too hot at optimal speed for pretty much any air cooler.
Its pretty much that simple. You gotta put thought and research into how to use high end CPUs in your built, otherwise theyre always performing sub-optimal. In the way you couldve bought a cheaper CPU and get the same result.
