Solved! HWINFO giving weird readings when starting up Warframe

[philip.ballerstein]

I use HWINFO to monitor temps for my CPU and GPU. For some reason, whenever I start Warframe the GPU temps just up extemely high (80-90C), but as soon as I long in GPU temps read in the 60s. Is this just an error from HWINFO or is it something I should worry about?

I think 80-85 isn't high. I see that all the time. I think 90 is getting high....but I don't think it's that likely you would be damaging things at 90....especially if it's just briefly while you login. As far as why it's occurring....I don't know....it seems a little odd. I can only guess that Warframe is doing some pretty GPU intensive stuff for that brief period.

Its only at the login screen, where it seems like it would have the least graphics intensive part. I also don't see how the temps are jumping from 80-90c down to 60c in the matter of a second or two. That's the part that is really confusing me.

Temps jump fast. I don't think that's abnormal.
The only thing I think is a little abnormal is you going to 90....and I mean a "little".

If you said you were going to 85 I'd say it was normal.
