Zavek00 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) EDIT: problem solved Godrays causes the massive heatspike for no graphical improvement been playing around with fallout 4 a number of days and had 0 issues with heat.i ran it with ENBs and it went up to 75 C max without performance drops but since last night it suddenly started to hit 95+c it still runs for a short while but the fps drops 42 as the card downclocks but the heat issue persists and ultimatly crashes the entire machine. i have a few mods have tried to disable/uninstall all of them but no go heat always spikes up to 95+ seconds after loading a game or starting a new game the fans on te 970 are all spinning at 100% but they just cannot keep up with the heat generated.

tedman84 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Do you get the same issues with heat when you are using graphics benchmarks (such as 3DMark etc)? Your GPU should be able to cool itself even if constantly maxed at 100% utilisation. Does it have the stock reference cooler or a "fancy" one?

Does it have the stock reference cooler or a "fancy" one?no its only fallout 4 it heats up like this with. ivi done a wirecheck and reattached all cables and checked for dust.no dust but the card apparantly got too little power as it can now cool itself more properly. it still peaks at 86 C with a sub 50 fps running with furmark it never hits higher temp then 69 so there is something wrong with how the card handles fallout its the MSI 970 twin Fozr EDIT:Issue found, its the fking Godrays turning them off and all issues solved card runs smoothly at 72 fps at 72-78 C. turning off the FPS lock gave me 110 stable fps with same temp (but broken gamephysics) Edited November 24, 2015 by Qerewen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedman84 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Those Godrays are pretty evil. I have mine set to Low. Barely any visual difference anyway, but massive FPS savings! I'm surprised that Godrays was taxing your GPU more than Furmark! Temps of around 100C for a GPU are acceptable and I wouldn't worry too much. Do you have any fan profiles setup with MSI Afterburner or something? Is it all set to default? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
