AMD 5700xt running at 95°c while playing. Consistently getting 30fps on the lowest settings. Previous betas ran the game on high with 100+fps. Gfx drivers are up to date.

Howdy SicKisH,
If you are overheating we recommend having the computer cleaned out then hitting up the maker of the hardware. Overheating in electronic devices is usually caused by a hardware issue, such as a malfunctioning cooling system, a defective power supply, or a component that is not properly seated or installed. These issues can cause the device to generate more heat than it can dissipate, leading to overheating and potential damage.
Software, on the other hand, is not capable of directly generating heat or causing overheating in a device. While software can cause a device to work harder, run hotter, or consume more power, it is ultimately the hardware that is responsible for dissipating the heat generated by these processes.

Just a heads up, I’m able to run Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Spider-Man on epic/high and they don’t go over 85°C. I also have a brand new case with no dust. Issue is just Diablo IV unfortunately. I’ll keep an eye out for other threads where people have the same issue. Thank you for replying.

Issue is with your computer which is overheating when demanding game is launched. Please de-dust your PC case, add more fans, or rebuild it. Your hardware issue has nothing to do with the game, thank you.
Sorry Piorunz , but you are wrong. There seems to be hundreds of reports about cards reaching temps that are too high. There is an obvious issue with this game. The option menu seems bugged, as setting FPS limits DOES NOT WORK. So it is NOT a hardware issue, IT IS the game…Thank you.
Coupled with the fact that you can’t set the resolution ingame and it always defaults to the desktop resolution. That is a serious issue that needs to be sorted.
The basic issue is that FPS can’t be locked to a lower value, that causes the fps to be too high and the cards will then be hotter than normal.

I have Radeon card and its not overheating, because I have very well ventilated PC case. Your is overheating because your hardware is not adequately ventilated. Fix it first then come back to the game. Alternatively, you can decrease graphical details so your GPU is not using a lot of power, so no overheating.
Don’t blame the game for underperforming hardware, thank you. 
This is wrong. Thank you for trying though.

my 5700xt was running unbelievably hot as well, and my 3600x cpu reached temps of 91 degrees. Not sure what I should do either this is not normal.
what kind of presumptuous, tone deaf non-sense is this response. I am having the EXACT same issue on a brand new system. Im running an AMD 7800X3D and a 3080Ti.
Even set to the LOWEST settings, my CPU utilization is only 21%, but running at 92c. That is not the CPU, system, cooling or builder error. I have been stress testing this system for over a week with 3D Mark, Unigen, etc. Tested it on Destiny, RDR2, cyberpunk, and various other games to confirm my stress testing in real world. I have never had my CPU surpass 84c even for CPU games like RDR2 at 80+% utilization on all cores.
Hell, my GPU is only being utilized at 9% running at a cool 60c.
This is 100% NOT an issue with the system.

similar issue here, not sure what the solution is. Kind of a bummer because I just preordered diablo 4 only to be hit with these issues on the server slam. Considering refunding. All other games which are more intensive run smooth as butter and cause no issues, including cyberpunk, re4 remake and jedi survivor.
Above is from one post from one forum member 
I guess you never build a computer or something. Computer must handle 100% of stress on all components simultaneously without overheating or it means it’s been done wrong. Every system builder must know that.
I guess if you would to try Prime95 on all cores your computer would explode 
So better not try it. As you said, everything is so great with your computer, it must be that video game fault.
I’d say you should leave detailed report and wait for the release with hope they fix it. Blizzard and their unofficial workers would never recognize any technical issues with D4 - they will always point at your hardware, but they 100% work with the issues.
Little example, during last I( 3080ti ) and two my friends ( 3080 and 3090) we all had vendor screen oveheat issue - I could run my game for hours at 55-62 C, but If i open vendor screen - my GPU suddenly pushes it’s power usage to 100% and temperature in 1 minute goes up to 70 C + and rises further ( I even had a blackscreen then I went for 30-40 minutes afk at vendor screen).
This beta - we are using same pc’s, no changes to software, only one of us updated GPU drivers. The vendor screen issue is completly fixed for us - vendor screen aint pushing our GPU temp beyond 61-62 C.

The communication on all these hundreds of stuttering, FPS drops and overheating problems while GPU load is low that are being reported is horrible.
Can this please be sent to a higher tier tech support. Spam officials on social media with this, so they are aware.
Telling gaming and hardware enthusiasts that play, that this is caused by dust in their systems is… Bro… Iam mad.
Get us a bluepost already that this is being investigated.
This problem existed in beta as well. That’s why people are afraid that Noone cares and that we spent 100 bucks on a game we will not be able to play at release!!

I think they shud rename this beta to PC Slam instead

Jesus you are dense and presumptuous. Let me spell this out to you in a different way from how I already clearly articulated it. My CPU, setup, or 25 years of custom building experience is not the issue here. My 7800X3D CPU has not breached 84c IN ANY of the following:
Stress/Bench
- AIDA64 stability test (overnight; 10 hrs)
- Cinebench R23 multicore (2 hours)
- Unigen Superposition and Heaven
- 3D Mark Allcore stress bench, and every other benchmark for 1440p and within
Games
Destiny, RDR2, Cyberpunk, CS:GO, D3 - running the gamut between 1080p to 4k. If you know anything about optimization these range between CPU to GPU intensive.
So with all of that, you’re willing to die on the “its not the software, its your hardware’s fault” hill, when this game shoots my CPU temps from 58c idle to 92c under 18% utilization load? Even after I dropped every thing to its lowest settings in-game it still pegs at 89-91c under 10% load all while my GPU utilization is at 9% and sitting comfortably at 55c?!
Please, tell me to dust out my system.

Can run every games with no issue.
Diablo 4 is the first to get my CPU at 100% (AMD Ryzen 5 5600X).
Everything is checked, and as i said, not any issue on any other big games rencently released.
Please fix.

Explain please how this is a game issue. How you expect Blizzard to act on this knowledge? Make default max 25 fps cap? Make an statement “sorry dude you got hot CPU, we don’t care bc nothing to do with us”? Or what?
What your problem has to do with anything Blizzard related?
Just imagine these patch notes, that they decreased performance on 7800X3D CPU because some dudes cry on the forums demanding a refund or saying game is broken, so we cut their FPS in half so CPU don’t go to 92 C anymore. Lol.
