PoE 2 is cooking GPUs and CPUs Actually Dangerous to PC.

Does that mean I currently cook GeforceNow GPU's?

4060 Ti and 14700F
Smooth FPS, no stutters, water cooled, temp is ~45c.

Wife has similar PC, mostly crashing issues but not GPU overheating issues.

Nah they use wild virtualisation tech so its distributed across hundreds of compute units.

The game is actually frying my PC. CPU/GPU was hitting 99% usage. 80c temps. Never in any game has this happened. I am fully watercooled on both, with 9 fans.

3060TI and a very old I5 processor here and my pc is running very very smoothly and comfortably. Far far far better then diablo 4, actually diablo 4 was cooking my pc after only 1 hour of playing.

I play the game on high gpu settings and low cpu settings.

If i can play the game so smoothly with a worse pc then the problem might be on your end not POE.

Oh, worth noting that i play solo, and when i enter a town it does get a bit choppy/laggy but nothing like what you're describing.

I haven't had this happen in maps yet, but during the campaign some zones would just kick my PC fans up to full speed. I thought my PC was failing the first time it was so loud, and it's never happened in any game I've played for the past 4 years since it's been built.

88 is perfectly fine, won't harm the chip.

not only are they swinging the nerf bat all around, but theres serious performance issues. Check your temps and tell me its not turning into a straight up turkey roaster in maps.

3070 ti and top of the line i9 both with WATERCOOLING.

Every other game is fine benchmarks etc, this games running so much resources its actually dangerous, hope you guys got marshmellows.

The opposite problem for me here, the game is actually not even using my resources, my GPU/CPU stays at 60-70% at most, however, my FPS stays at 70-80, temps below 60c, and nothing bottlenecking.

Either way, your post lacks any "weight" as you don't even share any performance logs. Seems more like a (clueless)rant than actual feedback.

Running an AMD RX 6650XT with Intel i5 12400f.

GPU usage is consistently at 100% so I'm not bottlenecked.

Game engine seems to target 8 main threads (no HT) and runs very well on my machine getting around 160 fps @ 4k with DLAA and max settings.

No idea what you are referring to with cooking PCs, seems sound to me.

It's people blaming the game for their computer issues basically. Which could be 1 of a million different issues. I'm running a very unstable 8086k right now and it always gets hot (not delided). But I'm not getting past 72c so it's gravy and running at around 100fps or more. For those that see 72c and gasp - 8086k's always run hot. Temps are specific to individual parts.
