Graphics card overheating since patch 1.17

( ^_^)／ やぁ！ since patch 1.17 the game randomly closes down due to my graphics card overheating. this happens in both windowed mode running at 1280x720 and fullscreen crossfire 1680x1050. I have 2 ATI HD 5770's and my system is pretty well cooled. Before patch I was adveraging 55>65c running temp in windowed mode but after patch it is now around 65>75c in game, as soon as the temp hits 80c my card cuts out and crashes the game. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit as my OS

its a bit annoying （￣へ￣） not sure if it has anything to do with the game, just wondering if others have been having the same problem?

Since that patch, after i log onto my character, I'm online for a few seconds and then my whole system powers off. I power back up, go to World of Warcraft and no problems. Reboot my system, try FFXIV again, and my system powers off. Please assist Technical Support

Yes, ever since patch 1.17, my GPU temp has been a lot higher, and has it hits 75-76 the sound on whole system starts to mess up.
1) new VGA cooler makes it run cooler then before and never had over 70 pre patch.
2) old cooler used to get as high at 85 and sound never messed up.

Mid last week nvidia did come out with a new driver, put it on hoped it woudl fix the cooling issues, But saddly it did not. So leads me to beleave SE changed somethign in 1.17 that makeing GPU work different

PS: Friends are haveign same issues.

My GPU went down in heat o.o from 85-95 to 75-90c most video card can stay up in the 95 without issue should not worry about it. I don't understand why your video card crashes tho.

my GPU's are set to a max temp of 80c so when it reaches that temp the drivers shutdown as a failsafe so as not to cause damage. running the game with a lower graphical settings dose help this problem as there is less stress on the GPU, but i dont want to lower my setting, i want the game to look good :)

wow 80c what type of video card you have? mine don't start to shut down stuff of my pc too 98C which it never reach. the max i saw while playing ffxiv is 85-95 and while playing now with the new update 70-90ishC.

Oh wow. I thought that 60 was bad. I think I am going to build a shrine to my graphics card now.
