CPU is 90+ degrees

[Revalopod]

Hot damn. When playing the game, in a match, the CPU will be 90 degrees... AVERAGE. With spikes even higher. I saw it reach 100 once. No wonder it crashes. Why the heck isn't it being cooled? It's not even loud, like the fans aren't even trying. Help would be appreciated!

i have to go and ensure the fans are working before i get into the game. i assume your say 90-100 Celsius? If so that is pretty hot depending on your set up and other variables. If your using multiple monitors or have a lot of background applications running you can be hurting the performance of the PC but you just have to validate this yourself.

Celcius yes.

My cpu is constantly maxxed out running the game, and it barely tickles my ram or anything else, kinda sucks

you need to sort your CPU cooling. get a proper CPU cooler and check your case airflow. 90-100 is not normal. this is a hardware issue on your end

Assuming this is the only game where you have this problem, try a reinstall. The same thing happened to me after an update and it was fine after I reinstalled.

Oh yeah forgot to mention my specs lol
It's an i9 13900kf and the cooler is Noctua NH-D15
Disabling boosting made it run at 60 degrees, but with large fps drops in intense combat, so not a good solution.
I've updated the bios (from F2 to F11d so it was vert outdated lol) and set power limits (long power limit @ 150w, short power limit @ 253w, max current @ 350a)
And I'll see if that sorts it out.

the cpu will get hotter if you host vs if you play in someone game so keep that in mind

[ImYourN1ghtMare]

increase your CPU cooler RPM or is it running at 100% when ur cpu temp reaches that 90+ temp? also case coolers. test this: if you have fps limiter set ingame turn it off and use something else like set it from nvidia control panel
what i have looked that cpu is pretty hot

Ah I always host

Reporting this as well, maybe I just haven't noticed, but I don't recall Helldivers 2 causing the CPU core temp. to go up 90+°C / 194+°F. Thinking maybe it had something to do after the most recent update (again, I'm not so sure, but it does seem out of the ordinary, even with most of my settings set to medium / low).

my 14900KF goes to 80c which is really good power limits set to 300w both long and short i got a contact frame for the cpu and cooled by asus ryujin 3 360 aio

This game causes my CPU temperature to go to the 100+ though I am playing on a Legion 5 laptop.

Currently using Universal x86 Tuning Utility which lets me cap the temperature to whatever I want and currently have it set at 85C without too much of a noticeable performance drop.

add more fans or a thermal solution that works

While I understand you like 'Silence'. Isnt that particular sku of CPU and cooler combo just not cutting it?

This fixed it, now it runs around 80 degrees.
The crashes were still happening just as frequently though, but I think I fixed that too. I disabled "crossplay" in the game settings, and I was able to paly 6 hours straight in difficulty 9 without a single crash
