Edit 11:38 pacific time - I did not realize my rear fan completely stopped for some reason. I took the side panels off the case, checked the connection, turned my PC back on and now I h ave no more overheating issues in Diablo Thanks all for the input!
(Original post) And it’s not just me. All of a sudden in the last two days my game started causing my CPU to hit up to 100+ CPU temps, confirmed by MSI afterburner and HW Info. Under 100 celsius, the game won’t stutter but as soon as it reaches 100 celsius it stutters and freezes like mad, so I have to shut the game down.
My computer has not shut off and I’ve tested World of Warcraft and other games and no heat issues whatsoever. This confirms that it is a Diablo issue.
CPU - core i9 12th gen
GPU - RTX 3090ti
Ram - 32gb
Never have had an issue with D4 until now. And someone in trade chat said they just started having blue screens while playing. What is going on? I’ve also seen other posts after I googled the issue, saying the same things.
If you updated your bios for the new microcode fixes and set it to the intel default specs, go back into bios and turn SVID from Intel Failsafe back to Auto.
Similar issues on 12th gen. Just hasn’t been reported enough.
Either way the new bios being pushed out for microcode fixes is setting SVID to Intel Failsafe which is pumping extreme amounts of voltage. SVID needs to be turned back to Auto so the mobo itself can dynamically adjust the voltage based on other factors.
I mean a big heat sink would be okay but yeah i would probably have a case with fans sending air up as well as rear.
I have water block on my 10900 but still 4 (3 front 1 side) fans in and 3 fans out rear and two up. Radiator is actually pushpull in front with an immediate exhaust up top to shortcircuit the air flow to the front top end of the case.
A good cooler such as the Peerless Assassin or a D15 (especially the G2 standard variant) can easily tame a 12900k unless you’re doing the kind of overclocking that requires liquid cooling. Airflow does matter though, and if his rear case fan isn’t spinning, then he’s got too much positive pressure in the case most likely and the air just stagnates and heats up the components as a result.
i have a pretty nice case with 2 big front fans , rear fan, and spots for 2 top fans which i havent had to use, nor have i had a case with upper fan support! So i’ll probably end up finding fans that fit the top of the case.
Although I have never had problems in the history of computer building with just having a great heat sink and 120mm rear fan.
And I do think the rear fan somehow had a connection issue. Just messed around with it and now the fan works, so I will see if that was the culprit of my CPU overheating during this game.
Yea, that’s cheaper CPU’s with the evade spiritborn issue that was going on. Core i9 is top of the line and these overheating issues are from just standing idle in town.
But i think it’s fixed. my rear fan was not working for some reason and i got it to work. very strange.
You likely won’t need to, at least not for all top slots. If your rear fan is the typical 120mm fan and you aren’t using something like one of Noctua’s A14/15 style fans that have 120mm mounting holes and your front fans are 140mm, you’re already in positive pressure territory, but you don’t want to overcorrect by adding too many top fans, or you’ll end up with negative pressure instead, which you don’t want unless you like having to clean dust from the system a lot (remember, your case has PCIe venting and other areas air can escape so take that into consideration when adding additional exhaust fans).
Thanks for the insight!!! My rear fan completely stopped moving for some reason, and I just reset the connection and it works again. back to 75 celsius in vessel, and not 100!!!
Happy to hear it wasnt d4. Outside of all the bugs exploits and issues with freezes memory leaks and stuff going on.
With the prior gpu burnout issue back during beta, i didnt bat an eye with a cpu problem.
I guess thats how low my confidence is.
@thetias, you know sometimes I get the intake and out-take problem because I forget to factor in the air resistance on my filters. Then I find all that dust on collecting in the seams lol.
On my kids stuff, I generally take a cheap prebuilt and augment or change a few components from my old custom builds since I have great noctua fans laying around.
Although I hate the brown…happy they augmented their color scheme.
Thanks all for the input!
