POE turning my PC into a oven

i was checking the tech forums and i see no recent post but i google and see many post pertaining to POE making peoples GPU/CPUS run extremely hot. What was the consensus on this? I have a i7 6700 and a 980TI i played the game a few years back and had no issues but last night i noticed my CPU/GPU getting upwards of 90c it even triggered a CPU overtemp error when i rebooted my pc shortly after. I run the witcher 3 and GPU never exceeds 72c

I use a frame rate limiter to prevent this.

Framerate limiting support. Limiting the framerate during gaming can help to reduce the power consumption as well as it can improve gaming experience due to removing unwanted micro stuttering effect caused by framerate fluctuations.

It is a well known and trusted program. Also totally free.

POE cooks my CPU. I have an I7 and that's what gets hot, not the GPU.

When I'm in Windows my CPU is at 36 and GPU is at 26. After 30 seconds in my hideout, the CPU jumps to 51 and GPU jumps to 31. It's a plain hideout with masters, an aura, a herald, a Lightning Golem, and no MTX.

In town with a lot of MTX, the CPU will quickly cross 70. I've seen it approach 90 before. I usually get out of town as fast as I can.

What I don't understand is why it's the CPU getting so hot and not the GPU.

if you are sitting there overclocking shit and trying to get the most FPS out of a game then you should expect the PC to run hot.

People around here need to stop blaming it on the users or their computer. This is the fault of the devs.

I don't over clock. I have a 60Hz frame rate on my monitor. I have my target rate in POE options set at 15.

I've been using computers for over 40 years. I've been playing games just as long. This is the devs. Not just GGG, but most modern devs. They keep pushing the limit. No matter how fast and modern a computer is, game devs will turn them into toasters. It's 100% on them, not the users or their computers.

Isn't there an in-game option to limit FPS? Why not use that?

ive never overclocked my pcs ever... I play every other game at 60fps no issues whatever with stock settings.

If I understand it right, the target rate does not limit the max frame rate. It's more like a minimum frame rate that the game tries to keep, not a maximum.

Your computer itself sets the frame rate. The game will run at that frame rate, and the set resolution. If the computer can't keep up at that rate, the game will lower the resolution as needed to keep up the target rate.

In other words, the target rate won't do anything at all unless your comp can't keep up. If your CPU/GPU is running at 90 degrees, the target rate won't do anything as long as the frame rate set by your computer is met.

Again, that's if I understand the target rate right.

I believe when the game first released it wasnt reconizing many GPUS and just running off CPU mostly. And that was a problem i noticed back in the days.
