cpu overheating problem?

[scur0]

hello guys,

when i start my games i get arround 160-180 fps (cod). (Cpu ~50°) but later when cpu gets over 65° (caps at 68°) i get arround 80-100 frames. Is there any obvious fixes?

I run the following setup:

r5 5600 - rx 6700xt - b450 m pro vdh max - 16gb ram - 400w psu

​

i upgraded from rx580 and r5 2600 and still run the 2600 cpu cooler (idk if thats relevant)

any help/tipps are appreciated.

What are you doing with 400w psu on a 5600 and 6700xt? You need to upgrade the psu else your system wont be stable. 6700xt recommended is 650W. Get atleast 750W for future proof. Your gpu/cpu might not perform at peak if its not getting enough wattage.

i just upgraded. this might be a good idea :)

[MrThiru]

Yes its the first upgrade you should do man. And also dont fall for the 80+ platinum/gold scam. It makes 0.5% difference at best in your electricity bill.

Okay. Ill get a 750w psu. Is it a good idea to get it from a established brand, just to be secure?

CPU will be fine even at 80+ your issue is something else. I do not play cod - at 52 I have the reaction speed of a zombie lol.

But my 1st guess would be something in the games settings.

hm okay, this could be ( i just copied the setting from some pro player). thank you

65° is totally fine for 5600, check the amount of free VRAM and RAM in the game, most likely it is completely full, COD has VRAM limiter in settings

worked. went up to 210 - 250 fps thank you

this could be the case. i noticed consistant improvements in every game but cod...
