Ive got an I5-2500K running at stock stats. Game is bouncing between 60-75% Usage and the temp is hovering around 90c ish. Is 90c fine? or is there a way to lower cpu usage? GPU is only getting like 50c and 50ish usage.

90c is not fine. It sounds like you need to replace the thermal paste on your CPU.

Indeed, 90ºC is pretty high, it's about to trigger the failsafe. Probably time to replace the thermal paste as said above.
BTW high CPU usage seems to be "normal" for this game, people report all around CPU at 90-100% usage, myself included for that matter.

When was the last time you cleaned out your PC?

It is a desktop right? 90C is pretty normal on gaming notebooks tho..
I would check the fans and clean out the PC first - dont think thermal paste can cause that huge of a temperature difference.

Do the same thing i did, get that fan out and clean it for dust, also apply new paste on your CPU.

Your cpu's safe temperature is 80c. i would start by seeing if your case has good air flow.

I just cleaned it out yesterday, but i dont have access to thermal paste for awhile now, guessing im boned about getting to play more without killing my cpu? as for air flow, im guessing its ok? i got 2 fans on the side, 1 on top and 1 in the back. the fans are maxed out on the case setting slider. i dont know if this will help at all, but heres the hwmonitor when ive tested with MEA.

HWMonitor LinkOn Monday go to a shop and buy some paste. If cleaning the PC did not help. You can really fry your CPU with 90°C. [Edit] Just a thought, open up the PC, take off the Fan from your CPU and actually look, if there is not enough paste on it. |
