[SOLVED] will my pc be fine?

[kazurengan]

so i just bought rdr2, and i'm playing it on the highest settings possible, my GPU temperature is around 77ºC barely reaches 80ºc
i am wondering if i am in risk of overheating my PC or can i still play with these settings?

My pc isn't overclocked.

CPU: Intel core i7-8700k
GPU: Nvidia geforce GTX 1080 TI
RAM: 32GB DDR4
1x 500GB SSD
1X 250GB SSD

thanks

that cpu iirc has problems after 95°c. and the problem is it will reduce speed to control temperature, it will not end burned or something

you are just fine, remember this game does put pressure on cpu and gpu, so you are seeing it work hard and is normal

The max thermal limit for the 1080 Ti is 91c, so you're well under that.

That said, the thermal throttling temp of a 1080 Ti is 84c, and you are very close to that. The reference Nvidia GPUs are not as well cooled as the ones with aftermarket coolers. Otherwise it might be peaking at more like 70-75c.

If you're concerned about it possibly peaking higher and throttling, maybe install another intake fan on your case if you can, like on the side panel blowing on the GPU.

As for possible damage, no worries. Both CPUs and GPUs have built-in thermal limits, whereby they throttle down in frequency when that point is reached. It's there to prevent them from overheating and getting damaged. It CAN however drastically affect performance should they reach that temp though.

The max temp of the i7 8700k is 100c. I cannot find any info on any specified throttling temp, or if there's one that's lower than that. Regardless, I assume since your apparent reference GPU is within it's throttle ceiling, that so too would be the CPU.
