This is the only game that overheats my cpu and gpu

[Rock&StoneTorture]

My specs

i5 11400f
32 gb crucial ballistix
msi gtx 1660 ventus oc 6gb


Today I played the game a little bit more. Experienced some weird lags. Quit the game then checked intel extreme utility. The max temp was 86c. This is not normal because my cpu stays under 80c even in most demanding games. (The place I live is very hot in summer)

I googled this issue and saw that there were others who experienced it too. Like two years ago, and still. When will they address this?

I suggest filling out a bug report, seems there isn't a big issue of this happening with tons of users so there might not be any data for it: https://steamcommunity.com/app/962130/discussions/2/2962768084994116410/

86c is normal. It can go to 95c before the CPU start throttle down.
If your temps are high thats a issue with your cooling not with the game.

I won't talk about bugs or anything other people told you, let me show you a new world.

Undervolt your GPU
You can even undervolt your CPU, I only did it with AMD not sure how it works with your intel.

Undervolting GPU can be done with MSI aftrerburner, just watch a video, don't worry you won't damage your GPU or CPU.

You will gain performance, needs a bit of fine tuning.

Your hardware will be cooler, -10c on CPU + ~500 on cinebench. Depends on your settings.
My GPU, runs with 50 wats less and I gained +700 points in 3DMark. If your undervolt is bad, 3D Mark just crashes, settings are software so you don't overwrite your GPU or anything, don't remember how much cooler it runs now, but I have a good shroud so heat wasn't an issue anyway.

You will save money on electricity, which is important 'cause some ppl get 500% increase in cost.

tbh your thermals are scary to me, my gpu runs at 59° 100%, tuf 3060 ti
CPU up to 65° (10 Minutes Cinebench 23), Dark Rock Pro 4 r5 3600

Playing in full screen, maximum FPS set to 30 in nVidia control panel to reduce power consumption and heat.

RTX 2070 Super and I7-9700K stay under 50° and my system is quiet.

(on first launch, game was set to windowed and my GPU fans quickly started to make noise !)

he ain't wrong here, i use afterburner to "well not undervolt directly" but i set the GPU target temp as low as possible in my case its 65, now the card will auto undervolt as much as it needs to stay around that temp. i do this for years and i'm 99% sure that's why my pc hardware gets OOOOOLLLLLLDDDD, heck my mother is still using my first pc, that beast must be what 20 years by now, ofc she is not a gamer and does only internet and stuff, still 20 year old pc is not common.

OVERHEATING IS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS YOUR HARDWARE.

Software can't overheat your machine unless you have done a piss poor job and do not have adequate cooling.

[KieSeyHow]

This is odd, because on my older system, with the game on medium settings (runs smooth as silk at 2.2K DSR), the fans barely come on. Minecraft causes more heat than this game on my system.

[Sythalin]

My mid-range PC runs on full graphics, maintaining 80-110+ FPS, and peaks about 75° @ 70% fans speed. It's not a game issue.

1) You're not really running that great of hardware to begin with. It's a low budget build, which is fine if that's your price range, but you shouldn't be expecting $2000+ performance from $600 build. A decent processor to handle today's games alone costs almost as much as your full rig. Lower your expectations.
2) Budget hardware aside, I'm assuming you're using a stock air cooler as well? Upgrade your CPU fan at minimum. A good fan runs around $60.

[Mr Majestic]

Yeah, this game has overheated and shut down my PC about 4 or 5 times (although that's in 300+ hours). I have an i7-4790, Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Super, Win 8.1. Figured it was using outdated drivers because Nvidia no longer supports Win8.1 (but does support 7). My PC also probably needs a clean.

Regardless, Grounded is the ONLY game that does this.

It IS a problem with the game, as it is the only one that makes my fan cosplay as a plane engine! (win10)

Try water cooling or buy a good air cooling solution for 50-100$. Use a good thermal paste brand too.
Clean your PC with compressed air might help as well.

WHY would I if this is the only game that does it? I'm playing more demanded games than this with no problem.

Seriously, some people should get a training in how to think before posting...

[Pandora's Actor]

how do you cool your cpu ? what is your cooler?

How hot does it get in other games? and what games do you define as demanding?

[Plake]

The cooler in my PC is fine for the maschine, my PC does NOT try to be hotter then the sun when I play Spider-Man, Resident Evil Village or Microsoft Flight Simulator all on highest settings... ALL of which are MORE DEMANDING then Grounded!
