My PC overheats real fast after launcing Rust.
specs: AMD Radeon™ HD 7700 Series Graphics Cards and amd a10 -5800k apu with radeon graphics (4.20 GHz)
First day playing rust,1 overheat after 6h,2 day 2 overheats 2 h each , third day cant even run longer than 5 minutes.
Seems like a leak of sorts or too high of settings. Try lowering your graphics?
I lowered them once to the point it looked worse than counter strike and it still happened.
Have you checked all your hardware, ie do you have a dead fan! Rust is not optimized but it never heats my rig up anymore than other games I play. Although I'm using a storm trooper case with fans enough to lift a small car 😎
I can play bf4 with 30 degrees so no dead fans.

Also the graphics card is the one heating up,the processor isnt.
This strictly happens in Rust?
Yes,only rust,not other games so far.
Pls someone help

This is an issue that we can only guess at over the Internet - especially when all you have provided us are the base specs. We could throw a bunch of intelligent/semi-intelligent diagnoses at you, but in the end, what you are experiencing could be as much a physical issue, rather than something having to do with Rust and/or your GPU(x2) specs/limitations.
If you are having over-heating problems, with Rust and only Rust, and the over-heating does not appear to be causing any serious damage, then I suggest waiting for further optimizations for Rust. Occam's Razor suggests that you do not have the parameters set properly on your GPU(s), and it/they is/are over-compensating for the rather skewed specs needed to run Rust properly.
If there is actual damage being caused by your GPU over-heating, then you need to seek a professional - not a bunch of anonymous users on a forum, that cannot physically see and/or explore your rig's set-up.
After update doesnt seem to overheat, just lag then crash PC even tho it isnt hot
I am using a asus hd 7870 directcu II, it doesnt overheat but its on 81 degree on fantastic settings in rust.
Im about to test how the card acts on other titles like arkham city, bioshock infinite and so on. If the results are bad like in rust am going to replace the cooler of the card.
Am letting you know what I find out.
Well my 7700 has like 80-100 % activity while playing and after some time my computer freezes and shuts off.
Graphics:fastest graphics and all of those bars truned down by half

I would check at which temperature it shuts down just to be sure it's really overheating. Am using CPUID HWMonitor.
EDIT: Oh and I tried different games and my card gets to 70-80 degrees, maybe the cooler is just shit. Will replace it.
just curious, have you forced Rust to run in DirectX9 and seen this problem?
Blow air in your fans

That's not even physically possible, and the system shouldn't overheat no matter how much pressure you put on it
I'd just suggest downloading the latest drivers for your graphics card, uninstalling the old ones with Display Driver Uninstaller while being in Safe-Mode, and then installing the new ones (but not in safe mode)
I know my card hates dx11 so what happens when you use dx9?
Your APU is basically a CPU and a GPU combined! And at 4.2ghz it's in turbo mode which means you putting higher voltages through it in an over clock really. I am wondering if the internal GPU function is screwing with your other vid card.
Did you build this rig yourself or did you buy it with this year. I haven't been keeping completely up to date but that APU set up especially in an AM2 socket (someone correct me if the socket is wrong) would not have been my choice for a gaming rig. AMD makes some excellent CPU's, contrary to what people will tell you, however you need the right mix of components for them to work at their best.
Sounds like purely a hardware issue. Run a benchmark that maxes out your CPU and GPU. Does it overheat? Because on a proper build your PC should not overheat when maxed. When going over that with OC though. If your PC is overclocked in any way, clock it to default values.
It's not overheating anymore, I've bough it and no it's not overclocking.Since the update things have been a bit better but PC still crashes at times.
Here is my solution to stopping the over-heating issue.
Go to Control Panel -> Power Options -> Change Plan Settings -> Change Advanced Power Settings -> Scroll down to Processor Power Management -> Minimum processor state: On Battery 5% and Plugged in 5% -> System Cooling Policy: Passive and Passive -> Maximum Processor State: 99% and 99%
This setup prevents your CPU from going turbo-mode and for me it dropped my temps a good 20 to 30 degrees celsius from 85 to 90c down to 65 to 70.
Further more, this is the ideal setup for most gaming laptops for Rust due to the already less-than-ideal cooling that laptops provide.
While speeding your fans up is great, it only helps so much, and nothing helps as much as not pumping so much electricity through the chips in the first place.
I still maintain a 40-60fps rate with this setup, and I never come close to over-heating on my ASUS ROG laptop anymore.
Note: I haven't tested this with other games, if it has adverse affects in any other game, just switch everything back to what it was before, or you may even consider creating a new power plan for Rust specifically. Also, I imagine this would help with most other Unity based games as well.
I have the same problem with overheating but im not on a laptop. I play since legacy and never have this problem i run all my other game with perfection.
I have try all the tips in this post and nothing work. My fan on my case work fine and no dust are in my case i just clear it today and nothing change.
I have a intel core i 7 3770 and a geforce nvidia 660 ti.
I didnt have problem before the last update. My temperature is around 95-100c all time i open rust. I have try running with direct x 9 and with the lowest graphic nothing change. When i close rust that imediality drop to 70-75c and i have a Fps of 100 with low graphic and 70 fps with a full graphic!
I can play like 30 min since the game freeze drop me to my desktop with no error message and i control my character because i can continue hiting the tree or a rock. But i didnt see my character only see my desktop.
Seriously... the problem here is very simple.
The [B]FPS limit by default is set to 200[/B], so your GPU stays at 100% trying to reach those.
Press [B]F1[/B] and write in console "[B]fps.limit 60[/B]", and there you go, [B]problem solved[/B].
Ya thx that help me a lot. When i open the game i press f1 and do the command fps.limit 60 and i put my graphic at 3. And im now at 75-85 c. But im pretty sure it a little bit high . But it a lot better.
thx for the tips
Well now my temperature are ok but the game keep freeze and show me black screen then go to desktop... i can move my character but i see my desktop and i need to reset the game... and that only do that in rust ...
Lately it has been good except I still get PC crashes even tho temerature is like 60 degrees
if your system is 6mo-12mo or older. take it outside open it up and use the leaf blower to remove all the dust lodged in the fans, power supply.
you won't believe how much crap gets sucked into some peoples machines and they are shocked when I do this to their systems how big the cloud of does is!
also make sure your GPU fan is not sticking. does if free spin?
The fans and temp are ok, it just randomly crhasing my pc now, i dont know why but i know it isnt heat
go to a hardware forum buddy.. your crashes has nothing to do with the game..
They do, this happens only in rust.
