How hot does your CPU and GPU get with D4 or gaming in general

I have a rather crappy comp but it’s enough to play most newer games on med to low settings. I had 0 intention of playing D4 but my buddy whom I’ve known for 20+ years gifted it to me.

SPECS:

  • i5-4590
  • 1070gpu
  • 32gb ram
  • stock cpu cooling
    (I know please don’t make fun, haven’t been able to afford an upgrade yet)

I get about 65-70 °C on GPU
and max 50-55 °C on all cores

I get around 60fps with lots of mobs and around 100-120 with just idle or running around.

Hot hot hot before I capped frames per second and updated my Game Ready drivers. There’s something wrong with how it renders when you open your inventory for some reason?

It shut my surge bar off a few times which was why it was a really bad sign to me and I followed some suggestions to reduce the consumption.

Now it’s not really any different than running Returnal or any other modern game.

I7 something whatever

RTX 3080

32gb ram

That’s all I remember, I don’t do computer specs ^^;

Gets to about 65-75 C on my end but it’s summer.

They are working on the first serious memory leak/performances fixes. Part of the fix will come day 18, the rest probably after the season.

Telling you my specs won’t help, its a much beefier hardware that can’t be compared, what I can tell you tho is to cap fps to 60 and keep textures low, that should help a lot.

Probably 60-70c for my GPU.

78C

This text is just filler to meet the char requirements…

CPU: i7-13700KF

CPU Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240 A-RGB

Ram: 64GB DDR5 G.Skill CL28 at 5600 MT/s with XMP

GPU: MSI Suprim X RTX 4090

CPU temps hover between 50C - 60C while playing at 4k native ultra. Sometimes it’ll briefly spike to 65C.

GPU temps are consistently in the high 50s Celsius to low 60s Celsius range at 4k native + ultra settings + DLAA. That’s also factory overclocked + manually overclocked with a 520W power limit.

I9-13900k with Corsair iCUE H150i: Spikes to 80-85c, averages around 60c.
EVGA RTX 3090FTW: Goes up to ~74c, averages around 65c

Running everything on max settings.

Under normal weather CPU gets to 65c and GPU to 75c.

When it’s hot out I’ve seen both of them get close to 5c higher than that, and it scared me a bit.

I turned the graphics down to Medium which seemed to help, but the weather also cooled down a bit, so I’m not really sure how much it really helped.

Ryzen 7950x - around 75c on a closed loop
MSI Suprim X 4090 - 40-50c
64GB 5600Mhz

Depending on the CPU that temp is pretty normal. The new Ryzen series can hit 90c on normal loads. GPU really isn’t a worry until around 110c, I used to mine crypto with 3090’s 24/7 at above 100c for months on end."

Edit to clarify, I would start worrying if you get near 100c on normal GPU loads. But they’ll be ok even up to 110c on good thermal pads.

There were some cards that were bad forget make an model, D4 just showed they were bad to begin with by using some new shader or something.

I’m pretty sure some of the Gigabyte 3080 Tis had bad VRMs or something. The issue was actually reported months before the D4 beta and D4 release in certain scenarios with other games. D4 just exposed it on a wider scale.

CPU hovering around 55-60
GPU around 45-56
They go higher if I leave vendor UI etc. open for extended perioid of time, however neither never went above 65

I9-13900k - PL1 160W- PL2 -200W, AIO cooled with corsair H150i
ASUS Strix OC RTX4080 16Gb Aircooled
I’ve installed 4- Exhaust and 6-intake fans in the case so they get ton of air to cool down

edit: running max details at 2560x1440p @ 150hz. Game looks amazing with OLED panel btw

I’m running an i7-9700k and 2070 super. I can play at 100 FPS and see GPU temps 65-70 and CPU tempts at 55-ish. No fancy water cooling or anything. Just quality heat sink / fans on the CPU and stock cooling on the GPU.

I use a water AIO on my 3700X and in general my CPU sits around 60 C under gaming load. I don’t overclock, but I like the AIO look over a fan. Also less mass hanging off the MB. The stock 3700X cooler weighs .75 lbs and just takes up a lot of space making working in the case a pain.

I don’t have a good way to measure GPU temps anymore, but I remember my old RTX 2080 running around 80C during gaming.

Some people freak out if their cards hit 80c, but that’s still safe range for many graphic cards. My GPU typically sits around 70-80c when playing games.

The 3080’s seem to be having the most trouble right now. I have an old 1050 with 4GB of dedicated VRAM and it sails right along with no issues. It’s weird how the legacy cards have no problems with rendering a good framerate or temps going too high.

I think because it was trying to render like 350 frames per second when I was looking at what it was doing. It makes no sense to try and work that hard, like my monitor can only actually show 144 frames per second but it’s in overdrive anyways trying to cook itself making frames I can not see ^^;

How do you keep your 13700KF in that temps?!

Mine, in idle, sits around 35c and while gaming 2k all max , ( including D4 ) 70-75c with Corsair iCUE H150i RGB ELITE ( 3x120 fans ).

I know 13700KF runs pretty hot, but yours, at 50-60c while gaming and 4k … I’m jealous! :slight_smile:
