I’m curious, what temperatures does your pc reaches when playing the game?
When I played automation kee engine at medium settings, my laptop my lap reached about 90° normal, and over 100° in the summer (sometimes I placed a full tower fan below the base and kept temps around 80°).
Now that I play in my no-so-new-pc the U4 beta, at epic settings, processor stays around 60° 50° but the GPU reaches 80°-81°, which has kept me from playing the game (it’s actually the only game I play that rises the temps). I’ve been able to keep it at around 75° lowering slightly the graphics. Question, how does your computer behaves regarding temps and graphics?
Those temps are pretty normal for a laptop, but in a desktop, your CPU temps are quite high. My 4th gen core i3 hovers between 35°-45° C on ultra and my GTX 970 is pretty steady at around 74° C. I’m using a Cooler Master Hyper 212 with Arctic Silver 5 paste in a Cooler Master HAF 912, which is quite dirty ATM (not for much longer).
On my PC, data from yesterday, closed window (so I guess 21-24 C in the room), everything on epic:
CPU ~50 C (though the fan tries really hard to keep it, revving up to nearly 5800 rpm and making a lot of noise)
GPU ~65 C (fans at about 2000 rpm)
Specs:
Athlon II X3 440 with stock fan I think, 80 mm
Gigabyte Radeon R9 380
Logic B21 case (read: s…ty Chinese box) with one side taken off
Stock fans recently broke on this guy so I am using a pair of Arctic F9 92mm fans that move 43 ft3 / min (1.2 m3 / min) each. No idea what the stock fans’ specs were but they were probably worse. They were definitely a lot louder
Case fans are a pair of 120 mm Cougar CFD120s that move 64 ft3 / min (1.8 m3 / min) each. Set up in a push-pull configuration. One intakes at the front. One exhausts at the rear.
3 monitor setup (all different sizes because they were acquired at various times from various family members):
Main: 1920 x 1200
Left: 1920 x 1080
Right: 1600 x 900
Typical temps on Ultra preset
CPU: 50-60 C
GPU: 60-80 C
Sometimes I get paranoid about the GPU temps myself even though I’ve never seen them go above 80 C which is hot but not unsafe. If I take the side off my case, that usually drops temperatures by 6-10 C right away.
Thinkpad (S3) Yoga 14. i5-4210u, 840m and good old useless ultrabook cooling.
Settings are 1080p, high res scale, medium shadows, textures and environment detail and low post processing and anti-aliasing. No V-sync, no motion blur.
CPU core temps were anywhere from 37-46C, which isn’t too bad, in my opinion, for having the CPU fans in my ‘quiet mode.’ GPU temps were about 64C, which again, isn’t too bad for a GTS 250 running the game on a hybrid between Low and Medium settings. Ambient air temp is about 23C.
Those temps don’t sound at all unreasonable for a 1060 working fairly hard (as it would be on Epic settings)
I certainly wouldn’t let that stop you using it on those settings, loads of people seem to report temps in the mid 80s on 1060s, and it’s safe up to 90C+ (and will manage itself to avoid overheating, like all modern cards do)
Relevant specs:
Bitfenix Outlaw
2x 120mm Fans (Rear Exhaust Moved to Intake on Bottom, Green LED Exhaust on Side)
Stock i5-2500K w/ Stock Cooler
ASUS Direct CUII OC GTX 780
I’ve Seen CPU Temps hit Low-Mid 80’s using the Kee Engine @ 1080P
It seems my temps are in the ballpark of the range expected. That said, I consider my case hasn’t the best airflow (I would consider it average and decent at best) and after a research it seems my GPU tends to be on the hot side of things. I’ve read that I can mantain the same performance on that card by lowering the voltage instead of leaving it at AUTO, so I’ll try that.
And I think I’ll definitely would have to play the game with the side panel off during summer (it gets over 35° in here).
EDIT:
I’m using the stock cooler and the cheapest thermal paste I got from the closest PC center (I screwed up the first time I installed the cooler, and had to re apply the paste). I think since the gpu gets at 80°, after a while the rear fan can’t blow enough of the hot air out and starts to heating the CPU area.
Mine -iBuyPower WA-550G- was having a slight glitch that prompted the CPU Cooling fan to go haywire @ 9000 RPM, even while playing either version of Automation or any of my racing simulators. (Still have to replace the front- and rear case fans though.) Just about tonight updated the SpeedFan software to the latest version and …
PRESTO!
That one f-i-n-a-l-l-y went back to normal and added a few extra sensors that were added on this one.
As for the CPU and GPU temps, I’m happy to report that those are well controlled @ 76°F and 79°F respectively, no matter if i’m web-surfing, editing a video or gaming.
The max temp for the 1500x is 95°, running that close to the TJ Max can shorten the lifespan of the CPU and as dust builds up and your paste dries out then it could get worse in the future, I’d at least change the paste to a reputable brand. I’ve built several Ryzen PCs and I’ve not seen any get that high, even with stock paste and coolers.
Eh guys… well I run it the game for a while as a test, and I was wrong, the CPU ryzen temp is around 50° not 60°C but GPU does oscillates between 75°C to 80°C (room temp is around 18°C).
Yep, in the near future (likely 2 or 3 months) I’ll swap the heatsink and the cooler for better ones and apply a quality paste.
For some reason I was thinking you said your CPU temp was around 80° as well as your GPU temp, 50° isn’t nearly as bad as I was thinking, and is about right on for a stock cooler under heavy load. My mistake.
but GPU does oscillates between 75°C to 80°C (room temp is around 18°C).
