Just built a new PC a few weeks ago
Would get high cpu temps while playing thought it was hardware from new build but other games on max setting I’m 20c cooler then when I’m playing wow.
CPU amd ryzen 7 7800x3d
Sits around 80c second I log in it spikes from 50c to 80c
Other games I’m right around 60c
Iv tried disabling addons nothing dropped graphics way down nothing
Idk why it is running higher but you dont need to worry the 7000 series are made to go up in the 90s then they throttle to cool themselves.
WoW is a cpu bound game, 50 to 80c are expected with that processor.
Try pouring ice water on it
Cap your FPS to whatever your monitors refresh rate is, if you let it wow will use whatever resources you have available and run 500 fps for no reason, this can result in CPU/GPU working harder than is necessary to play.
Iv capped fps at several points nothing changed.
I have a 240hz monitor Iv capped at 30, 60, 100 ect up to 200 max
I have a corsair aio it will sometimes go into pump failure blinks red Iv checked everything made sure software is up to date. Wow is the only game I get this error message
When I looked at Corsair forums it’s a common issue and that it’s a false error
My 7950X is running about 46C with 8 cores doing something while flying in game. I wouldn’t expect the CPU to be doing much since the GPU is where the work is mostly being one.
Are you using the CPU for the graphics?
It’s probably windows defender, game uses hardly any resources.
I have no help to offer other than trying to convince you to never buy AMD again.
AMD lol there’s your problem.
My intel CPU barely even notices WOW running.
It really is an AMD issue – I recently made the switch from AMD to INTEL and my cpu barely notices the game is running. Ryzen 5 → i7 13700
And Alliance is better than Horde
And iPhone is better than Android
And Coke is better than Pepsi
Untrue.
Its not an AMD issue. What processor he has is irreverent here. The OP should check to make sure his heatsink/cooler is properly on, fan isnt full of junk.
Make sure a virus scan isn’t running in the background.
Thank you all for input I set fps cap to 199 just dropped it down from 200 I ran an app in the background to check my fps and it was 500+ turned it down from 200 to 199 seemed to do the trick
I played for a little bit and it stayed consistently at 198-199 fps for the hour I tested it no issues temps a little high still but I know amd runs hot
have you tried taking the CPU out and blowing on it?
