CPU Overheating on GRW

[BSula99]

Hey all,

 

So I'm running a i7 9700k in a MEG ACE MOBO with a 360MM cORSAIR h150I  AIO water cooler, case is a Phanteks Enthoo Evolv X, GPU is ASUS ROG 2080TI.  I've come across the issue lately that when playing Ghost Recon Wildlands, my GPU stars heating up scary fast and sits around 80-82C, and after abt 20 mins it crashes. Under light load/idle, it typically sits at 35-45C, and playing any other game I own maybe high 50s, never seen it go above 62C. I'm trying to find out what the cause of this issue is and how to fix it. It is running stock thermal paste right now, I will do an aftermarket repaste tomorrow and see if that helps at all, and also play with the fans (I added two to the case in addition to stock and rad). Has anyone else had this problem?

Do fans speed up when temperature rises?

Do you have VSync, GSync of FreeSync turned on? if not, I would try that. See if that helps. If the issue persists, try running the game at lower settings. You shouldn't need to do this, in my opinion the card should have adequate cooling to keep itself cool under full load, but to me it looks like it doesn't. Could there perhaps be a lot of dust in the heatsink of fans?
