CPU Temp~

[Kats]

Hello :)
CPU= i7 6700k (Not overclocked)

Played this game quite a bit when it first came out. Chances are this was the case back then too, but I notice some pretty high CPU temps playing this game.
It's hovering around 55-59 celsius on 2 cores while the rest are at 30 degrees.
Usually around 15% CPU usage.

Like I said, might have been the case when I first played, I wasn't monitoring my temps back then, started monitoring my temps after my CPU... likely overheated.

I understand that CPU's should be good until like 100 celsius and I needn't worry but, I don't like seeing it go above 50 for extended periods of time. :P

Now, as I play MMO's, I am used to seeing high cpu temps, but even Black Desert online only spikes to 60 degrees when near 100's of people so I'm very confused how this game, that's not an mmo, constantly hovers around that.

If I tab out of the game, my degrees go back to the usual 25-27 degrees.

u w0t m8. I play this on laptop and always have around 65-75c (usually it was 5c lower, but I didnt clean my cooler for a while). There is really nothing to worry about, until like 80c. Also your CPU model is quite hot.
I cant suggest anything other, than better cooling or, well, colder processor ("u" series, if we are talking about intel, if I remember right)

I mean, I do play it still, I just don't like to see constant 50+ degrees. I know I don't really need to worry but like to avoid when I can.
I don't know what this game is doing to warrant that high temps when even an MMO (known to be very CPU intense) only hit over 50 when there's loads of players around.

Basically, I'm just curious as to why it happens, and if there's a way to lower it, like a setting, then I'd love to know that too. If not then, oh well, I'll continue playing anyway

It appears that this game is only capable of using 1 CPU core, and for whatever reason constantly pegs said core at 100%. That is where your high temperature is coming from. It's ridiculous imo, and from what I can tell there is no way to change it or fix the issue.

Aha!

Wish there was a fix, either from us or from the dev, I don't know how hard it'd be to suddenly make a game make use of more cores though. '-'

Multithreading is not something that you can just "flip a switch" and activate. It's a limitation of the engine. not the developer.

I see, too bad. '-'
I mean, it's fine, while I don't play the game right now, I will do so regardless of cpu temps once the update rolls out of beta... if it's not out already.

First of all, 100 C isn't the maximum safe limit. At 100 C most CPU's shut down to keep themselves from literally burning out. The actual safe temperatures vary for each model, for the i7-6700k that appears to be 71 C although since it's an unlocked CPU and since manufacturers tend to play it a bit too safe, we can round it out pretty safely to about 80 C.

Second, temperature monitoring software isn't accurate, they estimate the temperature based on performance stats. The only way to measure temperature accurately is with a thermometer, which unfortunatelly CPU's don't have.

Best way to measure temperature is the old way, touch the left side panel of your case (I'm assuming you're using a regular tower case) and see how it feels. If it's hot enough to fry an egg on, then you have a problem, otherwise you should be fine.

desktop intel cpus should stay under 70c , intel laptop cpus can go higher 90c+

Great thread.

I dont remember, is that game have vsync, but if yours videocard can show you over 200fps, you should lock fps. Try vsync or some fps lockers and you get lower temp, messgage here about result.

Um, but they do?

come one people..so many wrong informations here...

WRONG. it's same same chip, the same architecture and usually the laptops ones are underclocked and run with a lower voltage to achieve a longer battery life for the laptop. since both, mobile and desktop cpus and get cooled by some crappy fans or some very reliable fans the temperatures can vary. however usually anyhting below 100° C is absolutely fine. you wouldn't damage your cpu even if it runs on 90°C for several hours. that's not a big deal. if your cpu would ever reach a temperature that gets dangerous it will imediately shut down and prevent any more heat development. once it reaches an accepteable temperature it starts operating again..

therefore logically this is wrong too:

any cpu, mainboard, gpu and many many more components come with a sensor that allows you to see the exact temperature this component currently has. of course after some events a sensor can get damaged or be unreliable but usually they work just fine. you can check the temps even in bios which doesn't come with an "additional monitoring software". it just uses the values the mainboards tells it!

@OP don't worry about your temps. if you reach something higher than 80°C and haven't overclocked you can think about getting a better cpu fan but even then the temps aren't dangerous for your cpu. if you like to have it below 50°C as you said maybe a 20-40$ cpu fan isn't that bad of an investment.

Thermal sensor =/= Thermometer
