Q: iMac 5k Bootcamp heating problems while playing csgo

Hi,

I use windows 10 in bootcamp on my iMac 5k

I use windows only for playing csgo and other casual games

I play csgo at extremely low settings and low res 1280x768

I noticed that at the start i get 300 fps (i have it capped at 300 )

Then in about 5 to 10 mins the fan starts whizzing at high rpm of 3300 to 3600

and the gpu diode temp reaches 88 degrees or so

And then the fps slowly drops to around 80 to 150 and imac starts heating up and gets super loud

 

What is the problem here since it is capable of running the game at 300 fps and then in 5 to 10 mins it massively drops

Could unparking all the cores be the problem?

 

Im using the imac with m295x card and 16 gb ram

Thanks, Have a good day!

iMac with Retina 5K display, Windows 10
