Hello,
I was playing a game on Steam called Final Fantasy XII Zodiac Age. The game is not supposed to be so intensive since it's a port of a Playstation 2 title.
But anyway, as I play it, usually after 15-40 minutes, my computer suddenly switches off instantly, then boots up. I thought either the CPU or GPU was overheating, so I ran a temp monitor program while running the game. CPU remained in the ~35 degrees region while GPU hit a max of 70 degrees. The monitor also showed that the CPU wasn't heavily loaded, but the GPU was - which I believe means the game isn't CPU-intensive.
Correct me if I'm wrong but anything under 70 for CPU and 85 for GPU is supposed to be healthy, right?
Nothing else triggers this problem. I've played much beast-ier games like Resident Evil 2 remake back in Jan/Feb and no problem.
My spec is:
- Intel Core i7-6700K
- Noctua NH-D14 CPU fan cooler
- 16GB(4GBx4) G.SKILL Ripjaws V DDR4 3000MHz
- MSI Nvidia GTX 1080ti Gaming X
- 1TB SSD
- 4TB HDD
- Asus Z170-A Motherboard
- Corsair HX1000i PSU
I haven't done any overclocking at all. BIOS is at default settings. I've read that despite being a PS2 game, FF12 is badly optimized and requires a high spec to run on PC.
I have a suspicion that power is the issue here. This may be my ignorance speaking here, but could it be that the GPU is drawing more power out of the PSU than normal, and a 'fail-safe' is getting triggered to prevent it going over the limit?
Thanks in advance!
