UBER PC Overheating HELP?? - Rust

Evening, I have a reasonable rig. 4GB GTX 680, i7 3770k, 32gb ram etc. The reason I started this post is because I am having rust issues. If I'm playing rust without custom fan curves it overheats my gpu. Now, your thinking so what, I currently can play battlefield 4 on ultra and barely hit 45degrees gpu temperature. Why is a game with mediocre graphical requirements causing this overheating issue? Can anyone advise?

Turn on VSync, that seems to help people with this issue,

okay cheers. Didnt seem to help though.

What is your current fan structure like inside the PC box? I have seen many people install fans so that every fan blows IN to the PC thinking that this will put more airflow on the parts and cool better. The truth is you want INtake and OUTtake for best cooling, so two fans should point inward to bring in fresh cool air and two fans should point outward to shoot out the hot air inside the box. Another option would be to move each device as far away from each other as possible (depeinding on the PCIe slot speed). Having everything bunched up right next to each other can cause heat to disperse slower.

[QUOTE=MattyK69;43204679]okay cheers. Didnt seem to help though.[/QUOTE] You set to force VSync through Nvidia Control Panel, right? That is what I did and it seemed to take the stress off my cards (which overheat on their own on occasion because they take up a lot of case space and I don't have the best cooling.)

thats the fucking same problem i have with my GTX 560Ti !

Probably turning off some things that are running in the backround or using VSync like Jonny said would help your problem :)

A lot of games are gonna overheat that bitch.

[QUOTE=OrganicFrown;43205801]Get a liquid cooling for that powerful of a rig... A lot of games are gonna overheat that bitch.[/QUOTE] These are all just standard high end parts. Stock air cooling with 3 casefans should do the trick provided the case isnt retarded. OP, What kind of Temperatures are you looking at while playing?

Dont wanna take over this thread but i'm experiencing the same problem ONLY with this game.. My CPU is getting upto 80 Degrees Celcius but i can run BF4 on ultra at 60. And this game is running at Simple also, but i cant see any difference between Simple and Fantastic, Nvidia GTX 560 and i5 - 2500k 3.3gHZ

Did any of you actually try my suggestion? You would be suprised what shitty airflow can do to a PC.

Evening, Thanks for the replies. First of my cpu is liquid cooled. The only thing really needing air is the GPU. Case layout is good plenty of airflow room around and about the GPU fans. [URL="http://www.zalman.com/global/product/Product_Read.php?Idx=699"]http://www.zalman.com/global/product/Product_Read.php?Idx=699[/URL] is my case. As for airflow. One 120mm on the bottom blowin in, one 120mm blowing out, Radiator for liquid cooled blowing in. 2x 60mm fans blowing out also. Air flow is certainly not a problem. I am running a modified cooling fan curve which basically is, 30deg - 40%fan speed, 45deg - 60% fan speed, 60deg - 80% fan speed (max). As for running temps. Warm room and gaming for some time i'm looking at 60-70 degrees. Slightly worrying considering the setup! I previously had two overheat crashes due to rust and my 'arrogance' towards new pc build and GPU temperatures.

A powerful rig wouldn't choke on anything, it'd dominate everything and still 'run cool' by that logic, since I have a 770 I should have liquid cooling.

LOL. Liquid cooling is the way forward but probably not the point you were making J!nx. jonnymad, I thought I had found the vsync setting :rolleyes:. After posting my last comment I realized Google may hold the key. Little bit of reading and adjusting a setting and it appears to be running like a normal game. As in it isn't needing the back draft from a fighter jet to keep cool. For anyone seeing this post in the future. Not sure how to do this on AMD, Nvidia is as follows. [SETTING VSYNC TO ON] Open Nvidia control panel, In the drop down tab '3D settings' Click 'Manage 3D settings' Scroll down in Global settings to the bottom (Mines was here) Vertical Sync (Set to On) I set mine to adaptive so it can behave as it pleases. It does appear to have settled the problem down to a nice operating temperature of 45Degrees.

Hope the above information helps others.
