dooom Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Hey all, I have been gone for about a year now and logged in today to give DCS a run on my rig. I am running the same rig as before but my temps are now maxing out on my 2600K at 88degC and a fan speed of 2200rpm. i didnt keep playing for fear of damaging the CPU. did somethig change over the last year for CPU overhead in the game or is it just time for me to drop a new CPU fan into my HAF922 case?

chrisgrind Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Suggest you clean case, fans and heatsinks from dust. remove CPU, clean and re-apply thermal paste. This is free (other than paste if you need it), and may fix your issue. Ryzen 5 3600 | 5700 XT | 32gb | NVME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lange_666 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Thing you might check is a broken fixation on the cooler. I had a friends computer doing weird stuff, after checking noticed that the CPU temp got up to a level that the computer crashed. Reason turned out to be a broken cooler fixation which made the cooler not entirely touch the CPU.

Sn8ke_iis Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Make sure you check that everything is on stock overclocks and voltages as well. Thermal paste and TIM definitely drys out over time. You might have lost some of the thermal conductive properties. Let us know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitMaster Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Sometimes, if the past is really old, it tends to stick&glue to the CPU. If you cannot lift the cooler EASILY off from the CPU, STOP PULLING and give it a little 1-2° twist to break it loose. You can easily pull off the cooler and find your CPU on the underside of the cooler, force-pulled out of the socket with possible damage to the CPU and/or socket. Happens to me often when I take old PC's apart for recycling and happend to me with my own 2600k years back. Cautious !

hansangb Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 What everyone said. But yes, there have been big changes to DCS in the last year so it will be more demanding. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drag80 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 My CPU is always above 90 Degree Celsius. The thermal throttling starts at 100 degree. 88 degree is ok if the ambient temperature is around 36 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
