I've not looked into temps much, but in Windows it doesn't crash playing SC2. What's the best way to monitor temps with the RX580 in MacOS? Same tools as what you're posting for the Vega cards?
No OC'ing of the RX580 at all. It's this card: https://us.msi.com/Graphics-card/Radeon-RX-580-ARMOR-MK2-8G-OC.html - I think it ships in gaming mode (1366 boost clock), and one has to change a few settings to change the modes; I haven't and don't plan to do so...
The I7-8700(non-K) has the typical Asus "All-Cores" BIOS setting, but otherwise is unchanged from stock clocks, and temps don't get over 83-85 during Handbrake sessions; SC2 typically only uses 2 cores or so, and so I'd not expect CPU heat to be an issue.
I think that HWMonitor should show temps on an RX 580. I'm not positive... If not, you can try terminal:
Code:
ioreg -l |grep \"PerformanceStatistics\" | cut -d '{' -f 2 | tr '|' ',' | tr -d '}' | tr ',' '\n'|grep 'Temp\|Fan'
SC2 shouldn't be too demanding... Temps shouldn't be a problem... Not sure what could be the cause of the crashes.
