CPU running hot

The 9800X3D is designed to push thermals up to 95c to extract as much performance as possible. They do not work in the same way as Intel CPUs.

You can change this behaviour in the BIOS. I have mine set to 85c max, with a small undervolt of -15 on all cores, and a small overclock of 200MHz. I tend to sit around 60--70c in PoE 2 with these settings, using a 360mm AIO.

same settings with an air cooler and its at 50-55° (1200rpm ish, not audible) maybe do a repaste?

edit: temps of hotspot, cores are usually 10-15° cooler)

@topic: I also noticed some cpu spikes, usually when loading between zones, not every time, but once i a while - didnt really accure after campaign, so maybe it was something with those zones

Hi,

i don't know if more players experienced this, but i have noticed my CPU running really while playing POE2. Not only when i am running through the zones, but while loading into next area or back to town. Temperatures easily go over 95 degrees C.

I have a AMD 9800x3d and 5090RTXSUPRIM, so not the worst system out there :).

This only seems so happen when playing POE2. Is this a problem with the game, or is it on my end?

Posts like this are just asking for pc enthusiasts to come in here and blame it all on your hardware. Just remember: The company also released this on other platforms where it's under-performing if-not unplayable for many at end-game point. So you can wipe away the pc enthusiast banter away and know for certain it isn't your system. It's the game design being in an Alpha state, despite being sold to us with early access under the pretense of a near release game. Is what it is. We're all in it together.

Just know it isn't you. Game runs like it's got a mini bitcoin miner running or something lolol, HOT HOT cpus.

Yeah many have the same problem. Im cooling with custom loop and MoRa radiator and still temps rise to about 85c. They really should optimize.

if you leave the VSync off no matter how much you optimize the game will still use all your CPU and will still run same temperature. POE2 bottleneck is CPU not GPU, so the GPU waits for the CPU.

That highly depends on your system. My old 1080Ti was bottlenecking (unplayable without ugly dynamic resolution and upscaling) on heavy scenes. Since I switched to Linux with 7900XTX my CPU bottlenecks.

However fixed FPS make the game running on lower power consumption on scenes where 100% usage is not required. CPU and GPU stay cooler in these scenes. A degree lower temperature in living rooms in summer is a nice thing. ;)

85C on my 13900k

End game mapping melts the CPU for sure. Something is inherently wrong with performance this patch plus the Abyss mechanic is not optimized at all.

I've ran games like Escape from Tarkov(shittiest made game on the planet performance wise) and even that ran better than this patch of PoE2.

I also notice that my PC gets very, very hot. I have an average configuration. I don't plan on changing my computer just to play POE2 =)

I hope GGG will improve this. Because it gets really hot in my house! (And my electricity bill has gone up significantly here in Europe.)

9950X3D & 5080; I've been seeing posts like this from people running similar hardware since 0.3 dropped so I started running with monitors from time to time.

I idle at 200fps, average ~150 during gameplay and occasionally dip down around 100 during intense fights.

CPU utilization is generally right around 30% w/ temperatures between 65-70%.

Not saying the game isn't in need of optimization but I see posts from people claiming they're running around at 30fps and 99% CPU utilization and their neighbors house is on fire and at some point I feel like you guys have some other diagnostics you need to be running...

Here's some footage w/ my monitor on:

Just set shader cache in gpu control panel to unlimited. If You have it low (game uses up to 20 gigs), You Will have infinite compile delete compile loop and because
Compilation can use whole CPU... Every gaming pc should set shader to unlimited or atleast 100 gigs. Not all games have own Compilation and use default driver one, that is limited to 1gb as default. So... Your cpu melts, because game have memory budget like alzheimer person. This fix works since POE1. It Will help a lot, but it takes many days of net playtime before it starts kicking in. Shader is program that tells GPU how to run efficiently and needs some space to store all data and CPU to train it. Imagine it like AI. Allocating more disk space to shaders allow game to maintain more robust and more complex shaders that Will be heavily optimized for your pc instead universal one from devs. You just need to give it space, time and your cpu/gpu usage Will be slowly improving, fps goes higher, fps drops are lower and So is slutter, load times improves... Devs could make game runs better, but So can You by training your shaders.

agree it's kind of bananas.
im on 7950x / 1080 ti @ 4k sampled down to 1440p

generally, i'm constant 60 fps (locked) cause that's good enough for me (with a bunch of lighting shadows off w/e ofc cause it's a 1080 ti lol)
definitely used to dip down before the last patch in the abyss, otherwise I'm fine 99% of the time - the 1% is what need optimization, not the entire game like they're claiming lol

sure my CPU is 76C (just tested) but would these people rather have a worse looking game or something? If so, just downscale like I do
