Poe2 heats up processor like grazy........

even at bare minimium settings for some blody reason

MD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core Processor (32 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti
65536MB RAM

i should have more than enuff...

but my core still heats up to 85celcius?!?!?!?

i doubt poe2 has that great draw that it should do so?

and yes i have pretty beefy cooling on it but "thats not good enuff"

any help please?

before i had

AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8-Core Processor (16 CPUs), ~3.9GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

and that run without heating up like this....

I’m running at about 75 Celsius, it does draw a lot at max graphics.

im running nearly at min and im still getting 80-85....

with old core i had no such problem so i dont know what they did with the code forcing it to draw so much power from it instead of craphics card...

It keeps thermal throttling my I9-14900k randomly, I get 80 - 85c when loading and it will sit there for 30s - 1min, it will stick to 80c in town, and I have literally touched every setting in game, I have gone to undervolting, I crippled my cpu power to 75% max output still hitting same temps, flashed bios, modified bios settings, nothing even in the slightest is changing the temps this game is now making my cpu run at. I even tried lowering the resolution to actually get worse temps.

At least you can play, look my experience: https://youtu.be/1CUBM9SrCdQ

i can play but not risking my new cpu on poorly optimised game that draws more power than cyberpunk on max settings.....


it seems that poe2 draws as much power as it can from cpu and only then looks "oh you have graphics card lets use some of that"

TJMax on the 5950X is about 90 degrees so you should be fine, but I agree, that's a little hot. Do other games do this as well? Or when you run Cinebench or stress tests?

I'm running the game on pretty high details, but only 1080p due to my older monitor. My Ryzen 7 9700X only goes bonkers for about 30 s when changing location. Then it calms down and chills. However, I have capped FPS to 60, because I don't see a difference in running more than that, so there's no need to torture my system unnecessarily...

You can't brick your cpu by running poe2.

I had to undervolt mine to be able to play this game at a stable temperature and fps. It´s ridiculous how bad this game runs, almost one year now and performance did not improve at all.
