Hysterical...absolutely hysterical. I can't believe all these posts. Well, actually I can because there's a serious problem with the game. - I have a group that insults me personally saying I lack knowledge due to my system overheating....clearly my fault because my computer is next to a stove, an electric blanket and a nuclear reactor....obviously my lack of knowledge prohibits me from understanding how to keep it cooled properly away from these things. Plus, I sold my internal fans for illegal drugs. I don't run my computer with the door open (bad idea) or install it in a freezer or want it to explode from excessive high temperatures while I give my companion gifts from Underworld Trading. - I have one group that agrees with me completely that there is a problem. - I have another group that refuses to even address the actual issue and go on tangents that their computer is bigger, faster and better than mine and works with no problems. Guys, if you are not having heat problems, then why do you bother posting here? - Then there's the hostile groups when you tell them that there's a heat issue...they literally get mad at you for bringing up the subject. "HEY MY MACHINE IS GREAT, HAHA I LOVE THIS GAME." "Meh, mine works. Probably your fault." "Reinstall your OS." "I'm not even going to dignify you. You lack the knowledge.." "Mine works, so everybody elses works fine too." "Running TOR at 110fps and my video card is fine at a ridiculously high temperature." Does these contributions help anybody? It's a game. I simply want to play without issues. http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2010/07/28/blizzard-confirms-starcraft-ii-overheating-bug.aspx ^Blizzard had an issue that they ADMITTED with Starcraft II overheating. Whether it's bad coding or not (SC2 bug, it exists, conform to reality) bad drivers, not limiting framerates properly, or aliens the issue still remains that many subscribers are having real problems. Do these things happen? Of course they do. The game is literally fresh out of beta. I realize that these things happen. It's you're not having any issues, hey I'm happy for you, enjoy the game and have a great time in the SW universe, but stop rubbing your nose into our troubles and show a little respect for others. I'm not better than any of you.

FFS, it's the game. The game runs hotter than a typical 3D MMORPG. The game demands more power and it's probably causing more global warming than F-ING cars at this point! The game is pushing these F-ING cards too hard. Pure and simple. Some people don't have this problem or perhaps they are too ignorant to see it. I don't want to burn out my system for this SH*T. P.S. If I don't use Bandicam to lower my FPS, than my GPU hits 100c IN A F-ING MINUTE AND A HALF.

Well, I would...but it does seem excessive to get a Intel Core i7 and the latest card....when I already have one. :-)

You are merely writing posts to boost your own ego/post count. Wow. You really are unIMPressive. You literally have not contributed anything to this discussion.

Well, I'm happy to works for you. Wouldn't you be crying if it didn't? Hmm, of course. I can run skyrim as well with no problems of heat. That's the problem, you see? Some systems have no problems, while a growing number are having issues that deal solely with SW:TOR. GFX card is fine and can handle SW:TOR. Fans are clear and blown free from dust. Stop crying? No. You can't slience truth.

First off, thanks for the compliment about my age and the "you're too crazy approach". Let's cut through the red tape/psychobabble/ridiculous insults to my intelligence that have no bearing on the ACTUAL problem, shall we? The game causes GPUs to overheat. It happens across desktop/laptops and ATI/NVIDIA cards. It is causing machines to fail. Black screen due to overheat and shutdown to save your rig from combustion. That's not a good thing, that is a bad thing. Like being set on fire. Fire bad. Heat bad. If nobody reported this, I would think I was alone, but there are countless threads regarding this issue and no patchable solution is seen. You can't blame a pen for writing a nasty letter..... It is obviously some kind of issue with SW:TOR...to say that it's merely a "driver" issue and downplay the severity is childish, reckless and endangers a growing customer base in the first few months of its release. I suggest you do more research instead of making assumptions about how much knowledge you have about this issue and stop running your post count up to look "cool". Oh, pun intended.

Gentlemen, it appears were are the ignored and the forgotten. The reason why GPUs are overheating is because of bad coding. All it takes is somebody checking to see what commands and instructions are being sent to the GPUs. I am not an expert, but it seems like Bioware doesn't have anybody willing or competent to even look into this severe, deadly problem. Some guy I don't even know lost his computer last night. He is an associate of my friend's wife. "Yeah, I was playing TOR and my video card fried out." Inexcusable. You want candy. You take a bite. You burn your mouth due to excessive heat. You buy a car. You put gas into it. Your car explodes. How is that YOUR fault? You install SW:TOR on a gaming machine....you need to WATCH OUT and play Star Wars: Temperature Monitor Control.....BOOM.....fried computer due to excessive heat. My machine doesn't even struggle to run this and it's hotter than Jessica Alba on a summer day. SOLUTION: LOWER YOUR FPS. LOWER YOUR FPS. LOWER YOUR FPS. LOWER YOUR GRAPHICS CARD 3D SETTINGS TO WALMART QUALITY. Use a program like Bandicam and limit your FPS to 30, hell 20 just to be safe. I certainly don't want to lose a GAMING MACHINE to one *********** game. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD *TRY* OR *ATTEMPT* TO SEE, THEN *FIX* THIS PROBLEM BIOWARE. It's a sad day when a million voices suddenly cry out....then are silenced...........
