Then turn your settings down and quit complaining, physics doesn't bend at your whim. If you can't handle high temps and not being at the best settings then invest in water cooling. Each and every setting you turn on is going to increase load including AA/AF or VSync being turned off. The Idle temps on my stock 5870 is 55c and XIV can't push it over 80c at 33% fan speed for both, both of these are completely safe and designed by AMD to be running this way.

SE isn't going to make the game run cooler. Optimizing also means it will make more efficient use of the GPU/CPU keeper temperatures on average higher. Nothing they have ever posted has had any related to heat, only performance in general.

If you want to keep insulting the people trying to help you then enjoy your forum vacation.

Burn-in programs are specially designed to have their entire load on what it's being run on with no bottlenecks while completely saturating the Die on either the CPU/GPU. Games will never do this even if its trying to render a black screen at 2000+ FPS (voltage regulators cry when games do this) because of the lack of an FPS clamp and even then that's not as much as a Burn-in will do.
