I just got WWE 2K22 and my custom gaming PC ran somewhat warm just a few minutes into playing it.

 

My Specs

 

AMD Ryzen 1700 Eightcore

 

32 GB of RAM

 

Radeon RX470 Graphics

 

Is everything ok? Just a bit concerned I don't want to fry my expensive custom PC.

I have no idea what PSU was used

Overheating is often caused by a weak or overloaded PSU so you need to take off the side of the case and get the details off the information label that all decent PSUs have.

 

Are you aware that your GPU does not meet the minimum requirements for the game,  GeForce GTX 1060 / Radeon RX 480 are the minimum and GTX 1070 / Radeon RX 580 are the recommended.

 

No rush on this as I have an early start so going offline now.

Ok thanks, I will look at the PSU when I dust my PC tomorrow. I am sorry if that seems rude or anything, not trying to be I am celebrating my Father's birthday.  My roommate who also builds PCs thinks it might be the GPU not the PSU but I will get your two cents as well. My roommate also thinks airflow might be an issue. It has been a little while since I cleaned my PC. So yeah. I will let you know when I check the PSU. Thanks for the advice so far.

Just finished dusting my PC well the PSU is a Corsair, I took some pics which can be seen on the album of this image, they are big here so I decided to just post the link. One side of the PSU I can't see because other things are blocking it.

Only the one pic and it tells us nothing I`m afraid.

[RebelGamer137]

I am not sure what to do to be honest. Hopefully I can contact my friend who built my PC.

[phillpower2]

Unfortunately we cannot help without knowing the PSU information, Corsair are a great brand but they do have both recommended uses and warranty periods and you having a five year old CPU and a six year old GPU I have a strong suspicion that the PSU may well be out of any warranty period.

 

Are you aware that your GPU does not meet the minimum requirements for the game,  GeForce GTX 1060 / Radeon RX 480 are the minimum and GTX 1070 / Radeon RX 580 are the recommended.

 

 

You never provided any feedback regarding the above.

[RebelGamer137]

Yes I am aware of the GPU issue, sorry for lack  of clarity

[phillpower2]

No worries but as mentioned we do need to have the PSU info.

 

Have things been any better since you cleaned out the dust

[RebelGamer137]

It seems to be better. I will talk to my roommate when he is free if he can help me. I don't trust myself doing this.

 

EDIT- Nothing else but that game makes it run hot.

As per my reply #4;

Your system not meeting the minimum requirements is what is heating things up, the GPU and PSU are being stressed and that generates heat and if not carful sparks and a bang as well.

At least with a PC you can upgrade as you go, sucks this one will likely cost quite a bit.
