It should not heat up to 90c, even on 100% load. I have no more then 70c when playing uboat.
Thanks for this suggestion. But my System ist quite new and I already cleaned it.
I think this problem ist game related as I haven't experienced this Problem while playing other games...
i had to deal with a thermal issue myself just recently. CPU was heating up extremely, for some games more then for others of course but everywhere way too hot. In uboat i quickly reached 95c, where my cpu started throttling down. The problem was growing over time, started already two months ago to get warmer then usual. In the end it turned out to be a defect AIO cooling. Manufacturer has exchanged it for me due to warranty and the temps are back to normals again. Prime is now not heating up over 82. In uboat no more then 70, usually 60-65.
to make sure that you are really not starting to develop a thermal issue i suggest running prime95 cpu test at least for 30 minutes. If it heats up in prime test over 90c in few minutes you are likely starting to develop thermal issue, that might grow and affect other games soon too.
In most cases just proper cleaning and replacing thermal grease resolves such issues for next few years. If that doesn't help, then there might be hadware releated defect. Could be CPU itself having a problem, or if AIO is used it might have a defect or some other issue like in my case was.
I wouldn't do much yet but monitoring the thermals also in other games. If themperatures are becoming worse i would definetelly try replacing thermal grease first. If poor quality grease was used or was applied not properly it can lead to a growing thermal issue. Renewing the grease may in some cases make a difference of 20c or more.

I recommended downloading FurMark. it's a free application that will force your CPU to run at 100% usage, thus allowing you to test your system's cooling capabilities. You can find it here https://geeks3d.com/furmark/
In order to view the temps of your PC's various sensors, you're going to need an app like https://www.hwinfo.com/
When I use FurMark and run a CPU burn test, I never even rise above 75°c and before you ask, no, it's not possible for a game to make your temperature rise higher than it will under a 100% burn test.
"I haven't experienced this Problem while playing other games..."
Everyone says this until they find a game that does. Uboat just happened to be the game that made you notice.
Hey,
I have the same issues. A few months ago my pc just shut down due to overheating while playing this game. A few minutes later, the PC was able to be booted again.
Since then it has become better, but the CPU is still getting pretty warm. Due to the fact, that the phenomena is just occuring while playing Uboat (other games with higher GFX- and physics-requirements are not causing problems), the problem sticks in the game. Unfortunatelly I have no solution for you to fix this issue. I guess we have to wait until the devs are working on this problem.
This temperature thing is an issue, that exists from the beginning and can often be solved by the ingame fps limiter. The reasons for high temps vary from system to system. Sometimes the card is too weak, sometimes the resource management of the os is not ideal, sometimes its just a dirty case or fan or sometimes the gpu driver is not suitable for the games needs. But its a fact, that unity requests a lot of resources from the system.
While the statement that Uboat requires more CPU usage than most other games in your collection may be true, the fact remains that if a player's CPU temperature or GPU temperature rises to unsafe levels, that is inherently an end-user issue.
A game cannot arbitrarily make your system run at higher temperatures. What a game can do is draw upon more or less resources your PC has available.
Clearly Uboat is drawing on more resources than your average game, I'm not arguing against that. But (and I cannot emphasize the importance of this enough) if your CPU reaches temperatures approaching 95°c, this is an indication of inadequate cooling.
I run the game on maximum graphical settings at a resolution of 2560x1080 and my CPU temperature never rises above 75°c. My system is just an off-the-shelf prebuilt PC, air cooled in a room with an ambient temperature of 22°c.
I can also run a CPU burn-test which forces my CPU to run at 100% usage and my results do not change, my CPU never climbs above 75°c.
Does Uboat need optimization? Yes.
But do users need to dust their PCs and make sure their desktop or laptop receives adequate cooling in a room-temperature room? Also yes.
Free0ly's suggestion to enable a frame limiter or V-Sync should also help.
Uboat is indeed demanding on hardware, but the point is: if your CPU actually can heat up to a point where it performs an emergency shutdown, your whole system is thermally unstable. For sure thats not the games problem.
with proper cooling solution CPU should never overheat, even when tortured with maximum possible load on it. If it does overheat, its cooling is certainly insufficient.
Games typically draw less cpu power and run cooler compared to CPU torture tests such as Prime95. If its overheating while playing a video game it will certainly overheat in performance and torture tests too. Considering when the CPU is properly cooled, and is not overheating in torture test, it will also run in UBOAT with 65-75 C max which is about normal.
Ryzen 7 3800X, RTX 2070 Super on 3440x1440@100Hz, 32GB RAM@3200MHz, Gen4 NVMe SSD; drivers/patches up to date.
All settings on max/ultra/whatever and limited to 50fps, not because of performance or heat issues, but the GPU was constantly above 97% utilization. The game now feels a little more smooth as well.
Nevertheless I can't get rid of the annoying 2 or 3 second freezes which especially on high TC let you skip about 50km distance or even worse let you run into the harbor quay because you coulnd't reduce the speed in time. These occur through all levels of TC and even in real time, in map, section and ego view.
Does anyone else have these freezes? And how do avoid them?
Maybe it's caused by missing optimization of the game what would be no problem on an EA title, but maybe there's a way around?!
Thanks once again for your detailed answer and solution! I´ll give it a try. I am already monitoring my CPU/ GPU temps. But I will have a look into the aforementioned CPU stresstests and will try to pin point the root to this problem. Won´t be able to do this right away but within this month I think .
Once again thank you for your reply! For now I think cooling works as intended - but I will verify this, maybe it is not and I need to have a deeper look into it. I already set a frame limit, but thanks for your sugestion :)
Thanks for the background links and solutions as well! [...] "I haven´t experienced this [...] ... now I feel like this is some sort of "It can´t be my problem " excuse I tried to ease my way out. Wasn´t intended to offend :o
My System:
i7-10700T, 16GB Ram, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
My next steps: verifiying cooling capabilities while using CPU stresstest, if stresstests will lead to a steep increas of temps over a short period of time and staying at high temps I will try to apply new thermal grease as suggested and rerun the stresstest :)
