    45C should be fine. Your drivers are up-to-date I'm guessing? Is the CPU at a similar temp or is it hot? My CPU was the thing that was running really hot before I bought a new heat sink.

    According to AMD the max temperature on your CPU is 70°C.

    Sounds odd that you see no increase in temperature if you halt the fan, and the fan being the hottest?

    Download and run Prime95 to stress the CPU and monitor the temperature, idle temperature means little, it is what the max temperature is when there is load on the CPU.

    Bought a slightly larger tower for my computer. Have been testing things out and have added fans to the computer to circulate the heat. The graphics card is running around 55c during gameplay, the cpu is running near 45c and the motherboard runs about 5-10c lower than the CPU most of the time.
    It seems that my problems have all stopped, and the countless time out's I have been getting seem to have not been happening today.
    I think this problem has been solved but only time will tell. Thanks for your help everyone.

    The fullscreen thing is just something the engine does for now. It won't happen in the new 2.0 client coming late this year, but for now I'd recommend playing with a fullscreen window. You can set the size of the window to your native monitor resolution, then use a script to resize move the window so that the window borders are just off-screen.
    you mean that we can alt+tab while full screen ? O.o

    Sort of. It's still technically running in windowed mode, but the window is positioned in such a way that the borders of the window aren't visible. I believe there's a link to how to set it up on the FFXIV Reddit.
