Dubman Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Now that I have a fat graphics card. larger power supply, solid state drives, and a extra case fan, I'm noticing my CPU temperature rising when rendering, but not my graphics card. I have don the skate park tutorial and when rendering realistically for a night scene sowing the lights its sending the CPU temperature very high, where as the graphics card stays the same. I have a very fast CPU, but it seems it is being worked very hard.IS this the way VW ARCH & RenderWorks operates or is this a sign my CPU is going bad. Thanks for any advice ! Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted December 7, 2015 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted December 7, 2015 Renderworks is CPU only for now, so it will only tax your processor. But, what are you considering very hot? Average temp at idle for an i7 would be around 44C and my i7 5930K at home can hit upwards of 77C under heavy load but I have a liquid cooling setup because I'm a nerd. Most Haswell-era i7s are rated to up to 90C at max, but thats very uncommon unless your system has limited cooling or significant dust buildup. Quote Link to comment
Dubman Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 thanks for the info, I have done a thorough cleaning bore noticing this. I also have mine set up for Fahrenheit. So I will recheck these temps & compare to yours. I really appreciate your advice over the past years! Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted December 7, 2015 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted December 7, 2015 No problem! Sorry about the conversion, to save anyone else reading the mental math/Google conversion it should be maybe 112F at idle and 170F under load with 190F being where you're in dangerous territory.
