GPU gets very hot.

Hey there!

 

When I'm in singleplayer with high graphics my gpu temperature is 100% fine, 45 - 50 degrees with a stable 60fps and my ram only taking up 4 - 5gb out of 8 at all times.

 

However in Multiplayer my GPU temperature gets ridiculously high, way over 60 degrees when around 40+ players with the same graphics settings, again with a stable 50 - 60 fps and my ram taking up almost 6gb out of 8.

 

The temperature got so high once that my PC crashed. I have to turn down my settings to medium before I log into mutliplayer for my PC to work fine.

 

 

I'm not very good with computers I have to be honest lol but can anyone explain to me whats going on?

There must be a driver/software set limit to force shutdown ain't gotta blame your GPU for that. Reinstall drivers related to motherboard and GPU and remove any oc you have done to CPU/GPU .

Also on a side note after doing that if problem still occurs then take out GPU and chuck it in in another PC you have or of your friend do a benchmark test and see you if it still shutdown when reaching 60c if it does your best bet is to either contact your GPU manufacturer support or simply buy another one or ask for a free replacement if it's in warranty period.

My sisters boyfriend works on computers for a living, I brought my PC to their house for a few hours and he found the issue, something to do with the settings on the "AMD Catalyst Control Center", it seems to be working fine now, goes over 65 degrees fine. So my issue should be solved now (hopefully) thank you all for the helpful information :)

OP what GPU do you have?

Ways to lower your GPU temps:

1. Set a custom fan curve. Using a GPU monitor/controller such as EVGA PRECISION X16 can be found on steam store and is free.

2. Chuck more PC case fans in

3. Set a higher rpm for PC case fans.

4. Leave at least 20cm gap at the back of your PC.

There are more ways but these are the easiest ones tbh and 60 ain't hot and your PC crashed must be a windows fault not your GPU 100%.

I keep my GPU fans at 40% on idle and they climb up 2x faster than GPU temps. For example if my GPU temp is 40c fans will be spinning at 60% rpm. So on so forth.

Lastly Even if your GPU reaches 60 or higher nothing will happen to its parts since they are crafted at 100°+.

Mine runs at about 70C in single player and can hit upwards of 90C in multiplayer. This is still in spec for me as the max temp in the manual is 104C. I run overclocked and over voltage as well. If it is an AMD then it is normal for it run hot, they can run all day at 100C so 60C is nothing that will harm them. All AMD products run hot.

Pfft, 60 degrees? That's not very hot, my entire laptop went over 70 (Before cleaning the fan)! You'll be fine up till around 80-90.

Until that point though, you can clean the fan(s), add more case fans, or change the current case fan speeds (I'd recommend SpeedFan for this). You could also consider a water cooled graphics card, but that method is very involved and somewhat complex. This can be found on the LinusTechTips YouTube channel.

Happy Trucking! ;)

I'd be more scared if it was higher, my MSI R9-390 Runs pretty hot. It tends to happen because online you're rendering more things, it has to keep up a lot more with other moving players, their maneuvers and their trucks etc whereas in Single player its all very basic, theres no weird random paint jobs etc so I'd just be a bit weary and look into cooling it better by removing any surrounding cables etc if you've got quite a tight case.

 

I also have mine running on MSI Afterburners overclock like mentioned above but I can't say it's much worse than it's normal gaming clock.

Kind regards,

Matthew

Hi,

 

It appears your motherboard is MSI branded - I can't get your GPU from that list but I'm presuming it's definitely an AMD Card if it's running at the temperatures you're saying - which isn't bad. Mine can run easily/steadily on a good 70-80 degrees just fine but like others have said if this bothers you I'd consider adding more case-fans or increasing air-flow but this shouldn't have any detrimental effect on your computer.

I'd consider the 8GB of RAM listed to be your PC RAM rather than graphics GPU memory? - if so the game is 64Bit hence the high usage and why you'll find a lot of your RAM being used. It's considered normal for a 64BIT game to want to use as much memory as it's doing for the visually smooth gameplay.

 

If you have any further problems just reply but I can't imagine your PC is going to be negatively impacted by the heat or memory usage :)

Kind regards,

Matthew
