Since upgrading from SU4 to SU5 on my desktop GPU temperatures go sky high. Where I had temperatures between 55C and 60C at average with SU4, lowest GPU temperature under SU5 now is 63, during flights this goes up to 67-68 and while approaching a runway (in this case LEMD 32L) temperature went up to 81C, where 85C is max allowable for my NVidia RTX3070 card.

I have been deleting all shader caches, rolling cache also was deleted, and yet these high temperatures. None of my FS2024 SU4 settings were changed and I simply cannot think of a reason why these GPU temperatures went ballistic.

I hope someone here in this forum can give me a hint that might lead to return of my pre-SU5 GPU temperatures.
Thanks a lot for any help.

Mine is between 50 and 60, exactly as it was pre SU5. CPU is running a few degrees warmer than before though.

Happy for you 🙂 But as stated, mine are unacceptable and would love to find out why this is.

No idea, sorry, sounds like something is badly wrong though. I certainly haven't seen this reported anywhere so I don't think it is an SU5 issue. Well, I know it isn't as mine is unaffected and I haven't changed a thing either 🙂

Dealing with the same thing. CPU "AND" GPU run quite a bit hotter than pre SU5 and this with the same settings. Noticed it by the sound of my ventilators which went up, only then I checked temps which confirmed why.
Running a 3080Ti with updated thermal pads.

A year or 2 ago same thing happened in DCS, after an update things ran hotter, needed to wait for another update to go back to normal (or what it was before). Checked DCS after running a hotter SU5 flight and there the temps where as before so it's certainly not the PC.  

I have higher GPU, 3090, temps and lower CPU temps.  GPU was in the high 60s on SU4 and now running at about 75 with SU5.

About the same as what I am experiencing. I haven't tried, yet, to run FS2024 with an empty Community folder. I guess I will have to do a re-install of FS204 if an empty Community folder doesn't solve the problem

 

Also an empty Community folder wasn't helpful. Still very high temperatures on my GPU. I will reinstall FS2024, if I can find the thread in this forum that takes me by the hand and helps to perform a fast re-install.

Try capping your fps..

Already been set to 30fps

If you're getting higher GPU temperatures after SU5, I don't think that means there's anything wrong with your install - it just means that SU5 is making better use of your GPU (it's "pushing" it harder). I would expect this is giving you higher framerates - but if the GPU is getting too hot for your liking, you can limit the framrate in the settings, which should also bring the GPU temperatures back down.

Having sen your post, I decided to check my temps and found both CPU and GPU hovering around 50 degrees (give or take 5 or 6 on a few occasions), which is pretty much as they were before SU5.

My test was over New York with almost everything on ultra at 60 FPS with framegen at 2X.  That was with a lot of addon scenery, particularly Samscene v2 which is one of the biggest performance hogs on my system.

Maybe your ambient temperatures have risen as the weather is getting a litle warmer, you need to clear out some dust, you have a fan stopped or something else in the background is taxing your system.

Good luck trying to get to the bottom of it and maybe let us know if you manage to identify the culprit.

Thank you, but it was already set to 30fps. Even at this fps the temperatures are coming very close to the maximum allowed temperature for my video card.

I will try a reinstall of fs2024 once I found the thread that described how to do so or after a fellow member tells me how to accomplish this. It's a gut feeling that the culprit might be a corrupted part in the simulator. Like you, I had temps varying between 51 and 60, depending on the density of the scenery etc. in SU4. Yes, weather is a bit warmer but not all that much. All fans are running as they should.

Of course I will post a message after I found what have caused this "undocumented feature".

Then I would guess that previously MSFS wasn't always able to hit those 30 fps. It's now able to do so more often, causing it to run hotter in those situations.

One thing you could look at is if you can improve the cooling in your case - and maybe just check if lint has accumulated, blocking airflow. A well built system should be able to run at maximum performance without exceeding temperature limits.
