CPU temp spikes

Hi

Ryzen 7 3700 x

It’s happening to me too! My temp mostly between 68-75 but it now spikes everynow and then to 80’s and 90, since the update!

I’m going to higher my fan speeds but not done it before! Not sure it will help

yeah i did to begin with ( max’d fans out ) and monitored temps, but because its so quick and not gradually having full fans makes no difference so left em at auto and hopefully then fix it with SU6

Are you taking the risk and simming or are you waiting to su6 to play again?

oh im taking the risk lol as much as id love to say " nope aint touching it until SU6 " i just car its too addictive, temp wise im happy apart from the occasional spikes which aint too bad and simming wise, ive capped my fps to 30 which seemed to stop the eratic fps spikes which cause more temp spikes and in turn seems to have fixed my CTD, ive had three 4 hour flights with no problem and few mini trips also, the only thing i have noticed is in my windows 10 reliability monitor, when ever i exit out of flight sim it comes up as an error saying it crashed when it never :man_shrugging:, but other than that im flying all good, how about your self

With a feels like of 39.5c/103f outside in my 1880 northwest facing room I took a quick half hour flight.

It felt like I was sitting next to a space heater, AC was quickly losing the battle, stuffed this high tech thermo-detector by my powersupply vent.

Room climbed a good 3f in 30 minutes. CPU temps mostly in sixties with spikes in the high seventies.

Think I’ll have a go at capping at 30 like you did! It’s far to addictive to sit there isn’t it ha

it certainly is ! it may not work but i tried all sorts, i thought i nailed it with turning windows defender of but after a while it came back, oh forgot to mention i also turn in game overlays off in geforce experience and in steam ( even thoni got the game running off microsoft ) them combined with capping my FPS ( both in Nvidia and flight sim menu options ) seems to have done the trick for me, good luck :crossed_fingers:

Heh, laptops does change overtime especially gaming ones. Some of them got their CPU and GPU injected with liquid metal to cool that hotbox down, and loads of vapour chambers.

but this meme is funny xD
