I’ve been having some issues with my PC freezing while playing BF4, I’m pretty sure it’s because my computer is overheating. Anyways, my CPU core temperatures are around mid 50 degrees Celsius with the highest being CPU core 1 at 61 degrees Celsius. Is that to high? I was getting a lot of frame stuttering and frame loss while playing at these temperatures today.
I’m thinking so, especially if the frame is stuttering and you crash. Better cooling, air condition room or lower settings.
Game is poorly optimized.
OMG 61c !!! QUICK, THROW A BUCKET OF WATER ON IT BEFORE IT MELTS!!!111
Honestly, that people are this dumb… most cpu’s are rated with a safe temp of 95c, and most new gpu’s with a safe temp of 91c. Temps are NOT the culprit of your issues.
Not AMD 8350, I think its around 60 actually. Its a pretty popular CPU so its not impossible that OP have that one so how can u be sure that thats not whats wrong?
I just saw in another thread that OP doesnt have a 8350 so thats not the issue.
True, he could have an FX series which has a max safe temp of 61c for prolonged usage. I always forget that anyone would buy an amd cpu for gaming. Let’s hope for him he doesnt have an FX cpu.
I probably should have mentioned my CPU, it’s an i5 6500, I was actually playing on low settings today when I was getting frame stutters. would locking my FPS to like 60 or something help? I also took of one of my cases side panels becuase I feel like that would help it get better air flow? My home is already pretty damn hot, like way higher than room temperature.
Yes, locking your fps would fps would help on both frametime variences (stutter) and temps. But an i5 6500 has a safe limit of 95c, so temps are not your issue.
That’s good to hear, I updated my nVidia drivers yesterday and since then my PC hasn’t frozen, but I was getting some major frame stutters on low graphics.
Did you use DDU (display driver uninstaller) before installing the new driver ?
I don’t know what that is but I just did whatever was in the Ge force Experience, I think I did do the clean install thing though
Right - well, if your issue persists, id suggest you download DDU, and use it before reinstalling the driver 
Alright cool, thanks for the help.
Hey so i locked my FPS to 61, still getting drops to 40s. I should have 100+ FPS so I’m not sure why I’m getting drops to 50s.
Try downloading DDU, use it, and then reinstall the driver
have a link?
i5 6500 should have no troubles on this game and 60 celsius isn’t very high. Your problem must lay elsewhere.
AMD lists it as 62c, but it’s 70c on the core.
