    Wait, what exactly is running at 93 degrees C? If it's the CPU, that ain't normal.

    By the way, have you tried adjusting your game to window mode, instead of full screen?

    Nah, it was the GPU I was testing out with FurMark to make sure that a game should stay stable at all times with max settings; some cards crap out if there's a problem. This test was to pretty much throw all of that out of the way and focus on the problems: either it's the monitor, or it's the game.

    I try to avoid window mode tbh solely as it takes more resources for the same graphical output that the game is giving. I like to be able to use my full 28 inches of my monitor and not just a part of the window.

    93C Is still pretty dang hot for a GPU you might want to look into turning up your fans cause it should not be running that hot.

    If you know about the 7000 HD series from XFX, they are specifically made to run that hot for long periods of time. They normally run nearly 100 degrees C sometimes and that's their threshold. I would have to play Crysis at maximum graphics on a 1900x1080 to somewhat push the card to that much. Tests running for a full 15 minutes let the card work just fine.

    Trust me guys: the fact the card runs that hot isn't the reason, I'm positive. if the fan was running at 100% all the time when it was that hot, then I would agree that it wasn't normal. At this time, it's only running at around 61% of power which means it has more to keep the card stable.

    I'll have to look it up but XFX is notorious for hot cards. Also, remember that I ran FurMark which pushes video cards to the max. It makes sense for your card to run hot like that but rarely will it ever get to that point for any game.
