Question CPU overheats when launching and loading Borderlands 2 ?

[Anynonasdasda]

As stated in the title, when i launch or load into a character in Borderlands 2, my CPU temps hit 92C.
But when playing other games such as BF6 beta and CoD, it never goes above 80C.
What can i do, is it a problem with settings or my cooling system?
I bought the PC 3 months ago.

Some games are more demanding than others specially when playing in lower resolutions.
Who set the BIOS up ? and changes from auto ? That cooler is adequate but don't know how it's set. Make pump and fans work full speed just for test.
As for CPU itself. look at these videos, for instance:

Is it best to do it directly in BIOS or ok to do it in AMD Ryzen Master?
And should i follow the first video or the second one?

I prefer BIOS but you can try auto settings for Curve Optimizer in MR, Never got any great results and it takes long time.
Try first one first but they are not too different.

A couple of questions :

1. What is the ambient temperature where you live?
2. How is the AIO mounted? Is it exhausting air from the case or bringing in cold air from outside the case?
3. Was this a pre built PC?

Either way 90 degrees seems hot but the above may contribute.

Regarding the undervolting of these chips however then as recommended a negative offset applied, via the BIOS ideally, can significantly reduce the temps of these chips. I have found from my experience that the chips will take a -15 all core offset without issue which does help reduce peak temperatures but it is advised to start with maybe -5 or -10 and then review and assess from there.

The option withing BIOS is normally located under the Precision Boost Overdrive setting and then curve optimiser. You can apply both positive amd negative offset so ensuring a negative value is selected is paramount. Patience is always key and each chip is different so build up to where you find the sweet spot.

its a prebuilt pc, but the aio is mounted at the top and is exhaust i belive. I set the curve to -25 and it seems stable, have ran aida64 for 45 min no problems. And temps when loading into bl2 know is at 72 c max

-25 is particularly high offset. I would try and do a couple of cinebench runs as well and keep a close eye on it as you may experience some instability with such an offset. If not then great news as it does seem to have reduced your temps.

What temps were you hitting during Aida?

Can you confirm what your ambient temperature is just for reference?

I dont play Borderlands 2 but it seems strange that it would load the cpu so much. I get high temps in Warzone but only when it is loading shaders.

Hey there,

I don't think you need to get too deep into the bios right now with undervolting. Lets try and diagnose the issue, before making changes, that could make the situation worse.

Firstly, the 9800x3d can run hot. They are designed to do so. so 92c isn't anything that we haven't seen before.

Alot of games nowadays have to compile shaders, and this process often takes about 5-10 minutes. Your CPU will hit 100%usage and really high temps. So it's not abnormal.

What bios are you running? Is it the latest? Are all your system drivers up to date, including chipset?

The AIO, is a slightly older one, originally meant for AM4. It may be that the cooler is on the light side for your CPU. If your average gaming temps are at 80c, then it would appear so. Something to look at.

As mentioned by @MEMOFLEX , ambient temps could really contribute. What temp is it in your room?
