Hi all,
I bought a new rig last week (first after 8 years) and paid a good 2400$ (canadian). Really all I could afford currently and the guys at the store who built it also recommended the parts according to what I wanted to do with it. (they are very well reviewed so I trust them)
i7-9700kf, asus z370-a II mobo, geforce rtx 2060 super, 16 gb ram, master cooler evo hyper 212 black edition, fractal meshify Case and some extra fans.
I've had zero problems so far and bought RDR2 to play online (did the story on ps4 already) and to my surprise I've had no issues at all, like zero. No stutter, no lag, no screen tear, not one crash to desktop, smooth as ever fps. I run the game at mix of low, medium and high settings, nothing crazy, in 1920 x 1080.
Been like that for a week now and still no issue! I can't even hear the fans turn on except when I go near a small town or city, then they go on and back off when I get outta that zone. Anyway today I just decided out of curiosity to install some sensor software (CPUID HWmonitor and Core Temp) to see how high the temps were when said fans turned on when going near these zones in game.
Turns out when in regular zones the cpu seems to run at around 70 celsius, GPU at 60 C.
When near NPC-Buildings heavy zones CPU goes up to 80-85 C and GPU 65-70.
The cores even spike to 100 and back to 80-85 when in these heavy zones it looks like..
Now I'm most definitely a noob and don't understand most of the inner mechanics here but is this normal at all?
Is this the game just needed the cores to go turbo and that's what I'm seeing on the sensor? Anything I can do ? I definitely don't want to fry anything in there..
If the temp is this high how am I getting this smooth gameplay?
I tried running other/older games (Dark Souls 3-Witcher 3 for example) at max settings and couldn't see the cpu go higher than 65-70, which sounds normal to me.
Thanks for any and all help/advice!
