My configuration is 1 year old and I recently changed the thermal paste and reinstalled windows and everything. This is the only game that overheats my components which are the following:
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3070 TI
CPU: Intel i5-12600K
RAM: 16GB
I work as Technical Support for another company and did all of the troubleshooting that came to my mind. I am supposed to be able to play the game on 4k high settings and I did until my water cooling on the CPU started blinking red last night. I checked the temperatures and freaked out. The Hot Spot on the GPU was going over 95 degrees which basically means that my card was getting slowly fried. The next step was to lower the in-game settings and for my surprise I was unable to adjust the In-Game Resolution and I had to change my PC resolution, so it can get recognized by the game which is so stupid. Anyways, I dropped to medium settings with 1920x1080 resolution and the temperature on the CPU went down to 75 and the GPU still goes around 90. Tell me Blizzard, is it normal your game to keep frying the configurations of your players? After the testing month and something ago you promised a fix and nothing has changed.
The game is amazing tho and maybe the best Diablo you’ve ever created but are you going to pay me off my components if something happens or you will put on your initial in-game screen a warning: “Play on your own risk because the game might fry your PC”.
A lot of people would say that this is a hardware issue, however, there is something called optimization and if the consumption of the game is not optimized, then a lot of people might suffer. My wife’s configuration is getting fried as well and after a small research we are not the only ones. There were just a few with high-end configurations that are not experiencing the issue - from my friend list.
I am sorry if I sound rude or disrespectful or anything like this but where I live you need to save up 4-6 months just for the GPU … think about it next time when you give false-promises.
I hope nobody is going to suffer from this and all players will be aware of their PC temperatures in all times while playing.
You’ve made no mention of the cooling hardware/solution you are using on either component, case and airflow configuration, or even if you have optimized the fan curves or if they are on default. Edit: Also the ambient temperature of the room your system is located, don’t know where you are but the UK is experiencing a heatwave at the moment.
That would be good to know if you’re giving a detailed description of the issue, but not including the many variables that can also contribute to high temps can leave the assumption that its something on your end on the table when very very few people have brought up overheating in the grand scheme.
Heatwave or not, if your hardware is overheating there’s something wrong with either the hardware or the cooling solution you have for it.
My room is currently 27c because I live in a top floor apartment and it’s 23c outside and the sun is shining at this side of the building for a long time.
I play at 2560*1440 resolution, 144 hz, capped FPS at 144, every setting maxed out. My CPU is at a steady 50c(The fans are running at 30%, both case and for the cooler/radiator, I could probably push it down to 40c if I turned up the fans/pumps rpm) when playing diablo and GPU is ranging from 42-60c(air cooled). Room temperature shouldn’t cause components to overheat.
I’m running an Intel i9 13900K cooled with a 420 AIO cooler, along with an Nvidia RTX 490 also cooled with a 360 AIO cooler and both of them are running between 40 - 55 degrees.
I play on a Samsung G9 neo at 5120x1440 resolution, 240 hz and I cap my framerate to 144 in the nvidia app, all settings ingame are at max.
My room temp here in the UK is currently at 28.2 degrees also due to it being on the top floor and it gets the sun constantly.
There must be something wrong somewhere that your hardware is reaching those temps … I realise this is probably a daft question, but have you installed the latest video card drivers that were released just a few day’s ago?
Room temperature is a massive factor, what do you think determines the heat of the air the fans are blowing into case and through the fins of the radiator or block? it will affect the baseline for the floor of the heat that can be dissipated.
I completely agree with you, my temps are usually between 30 - 40 degrees on my CPU and 25 - 40 degrees on my GPU in cooler weather.
The warmer the room (ambient) temp, the higher your system temps will be.
If room temperature is so high that the components are overheating due to that then the room is too hot to be sitting in and playing games casually. During heatwaves my apartment can get to 32c+ and this room probably a bit hotter than that and not once has my components been close to overheating due to that. When stuff actually has overheated there has been problems with the cooling solutions not working and then room temperature has no effect because it will overheat even if you were in a 0c environment.
Like, yeah, it raises the temperatures a bit but not into overheating territory.
Even at maximum cpu usage my CPU has reached 80c max, it starts thermal throttling at 95c. If your CPU is getting close to that or hotter than that when playing games, you have a cooling issue.
I been having the same issue at random. First, I played 30 minutes and my pc nearly bricked itself. I played all day yesterday, fine. Today it nearly overheated again. CPU & GPU usage is normal.
Hur dur… its not a hardware issue or room temp. It’s peak winter here.
I can play and stream RDR2 near max settings and stream it and not get near overheating. This has never happened before diablo… do a quick google search and find all the other people talking about the same issue during beta too
You’re running a max 200 watt CPU with a 280 aio? Well… That’s ballsy. I wouldn’t go for anything less than 360 for a CPU that can draw that wattage.
It’s dumb to use a 280 aio and then complain about the heat when you’re running a cooling solution that’s inadequate to handle the maximum output. Or are you going to tell me you’re only letting it run at base speed and not boost? Because the default behaviour is to boost, it will keep boosting until it hits the limit and then it can pull that max.
If you had read up, you would know that you NEED a 360 aio(if you’re water cooling) to keep the later generations of CPUs heat generation under control unless you want to risk thermal throttling under load, including the 12900. A 280 aio simply can’t handle them reliably when they’re boosting.
You can either install a 360 aio or you can turn off boosting(will degrade performance) or you can continue running like you are and complain about the heat.
A quick google search will also return results for people convinced they have been abducted by aliens, or have encountered bigfoot, it’s not a reliable metric. Look at how many people are jumping on this thread with same issue, tens by the hour…?
Isolated incidents on from what I can tell, all custom built computers.
Most definitely not if you’re running a 12900k since you corrected wattage to 242.
I’m sporting a ryzen 7900x and it can quickly get to 80c under heavy load and will slowly rise a few more as the coolant gets a bit hotter if it stays there a long time, with a 360 aio and you think a 280 aio can handle a 12900k…
So I can run more demanding games near max settings, all day, all good but Diablo 4 is just too much at random Intervals…? Many people are having the same issue. Cpu & Gpu not even over 50%
The game is not optimised and its showing
Try running cyberpunk on max settings. Cyberpunk actually taxes the CPU & GPU, Diablo 4 does not. My CPU is running at a 50c in Diablo 4 with fans at 30% and my GPU is at like 42-50c, the fans aren’t even activating due to the low temperatures.
In Cyberpunk I’m at least hitting 70c on the cpu if I keep the same fan RPM as I have when playing D4 and my GPU can get hot as well.
im having similar issues. i have a slightly older setup
ryzen 3500x
gtx 1660super
and i have air cooling.
now i get the crowd that hyperfocuses on cooling solution and ambient temperatures and what not. most of the time those come into play.
but some people need to accept that sometimes, games can affect certain configurations differently.
for me its my cpu temperatures that spike up. even had one complete pc crash into total unresponsiveness. i believe it was due to temperature shutdown, but it was before i started monitoring stuff closely so i cant say for certain.
since then i monitored and my temperatures are … concerning. specifically cpu and gpu hotspot temperatures, being 20+ degrees above average, which is rare for me (i dont always monitor temps, but as soon as i get any issues i monitor tempts, voltages, ram/vram usages etc)
now this hotspot overheating is the first time i see this.
no other games, be they poorly optimized or legitimately more demanding than d4 causes my cpu and gpu hotspots to run this hot.
yes my cooling solution is not optimal. and redoing it with buying new shit would probably help. the fact remains, this game is the only one that necessitates this, so something is going wrong, or so i conclude
My laptop died when i talked to npc. Fans went crazy and latptop turn off. After that i read forum and find out that Diablo freezed game few tomes and always when i talked to npc. Never in battle. Latop was not hot, temperatures where okay. That power spikes that ar unnatural for hardware killed laptop. That’s all what i know. There was not burn smell. There was a lot of items and in short period of time i talked to vendor few times. Every time fans bursted for a second.
This game is dangerous to hardware and it is not connected to cooler.
Blizzard haven’t said anything here but i see a lot of “damage control” guys that are trying to hide problem and blame users.
I wasn’t asking bro I was telling you. i can run RDR2, Rust, GTA V, BF5 & more with no issues… I have a 3070ti of course it won’t run well near max settings? This is Diablo 4 not cyberpunk
Same issue here. ASUS ROG STRIX 3080. And for the reddit users in this forums, yes I can run Cyberpunk 2077 at max settings - GPU never goes over 70 degrees with my current fan curve. Diablo 4 - 85 degrees and fan hoes up to 90%.
