Hunt: Showdown 1896

Hunt: Showdown 1896

Hunt causing High cpu temps.
Hey all I'm curious does hunt showdown cause anyone else's cpu to run really hot? My 5800x hit a whopping 91c during a match! The game tends to run around 120 fps *screen refresh is 144*, I limited the fps to 90 atm just to help the temps stay low. Anyone else have this? I'm running a ryzen 7 5800x, rtx 3070, gamemax iceberg 240mm aio watercooled.

I would double check your thermal connection, are you having cpu temp issues any other time? Might be time for some better paste :)

It's not a hunt issue, its a YOUR PC issue. If anything utilizes the CPU to the maximum and you got temperature issues that YOUR PROLEM.

You should stresstest your CPU and ram with Prime 95 and you will probably see the temps going even higher.

You need air flow. Liquid cooling is overatted. A decent size case with fans is cheaper and provides air flow. The idea in cooling a pc is fresh air comes in the front (and top sometimes) and the air exits through the back via a fan sucking the hot air. Liquid cooling doesnt provide air flow, so ambient temperature is higher. Thermal paste and the stock cpu cooler are fine if you have good air flow. I got 3x120mm fans on the front which do the heavy lifting. Also how you setup your pc has an effect. Power supply and hdd hold alot of heat.

240mm aio should be enough to keep your CPU cool even under heavy loads. Hunt stesses the CPU very hard, not compareable to most other games..

1. Check your settings. Maybe your aio is running too low. Quiet mode or something.

2. Check the airflow, watch some yt vids about it. Also check if your Fans are push/pull

3. Check your cooler mounting. Enough pressure? Enough thermal paste? Maybe too much thermal paste?

this game is way too cpu heavy

All cryengine games are. Alot of games that have come out in the last 7 years are more cpu intensive and less gpu intensive.

sadly
and the worst it can produce stable fps

open your computeur (physical), and pass the vacuum cleaner ! it's amazing how much dust it can have inside !
Uh... No thanks May 11, 2021 @ 1:31am

When playing other things the temp is stable around the 70-80c mark, which I heard from a 5800x is around the average temp when under load.

Except the static electricity produced from the vacuum can screw up hardware. Its recommended that you dont use a vacuum cleaner.

This is an interesting read about 90 degree temps on newer AMDs.

I'd still run a stress test and make sure my AIO has a solid connection with adequate thermal paste (some of the AIO coolers connections to the CPU are easier to make uneven than a regular heat sink cooler).

No, no, no vacuum cleaner please. What you probably mean is an air blower. You risk damaging components with the sucking strength of a vacuum cleaner.

If you want to go the air cooling way, replace your processor cooler with something such as this:

Last year, I was using this Ninja cooler in one of my systems. It was nearly as good as some other AIO coolers I've used. For the price, it is amazing cooling. It is so ridiculously big though.

what ?:D
what is the possibility of that happening?
and vacuum damaging the components? no way

I'll have to take a proper look!, my system is a semi custom pre built system from a custom build company, so I'm unsure how the thermal paste and such is, I think I will do a stress test to see what temps it hits, I have been considering undervolting it as I've heard the power loss would be somewhat negligible
