Ilean if that was the issue I would gladly agree with you. This game is a massive resource hog and does run everyone's systems VERY hot. My case is VERY clean, and VERY open, with massive airflow being pulled through the entire case and properly vented out the top with 3x 120mm fans. [Corsair 800D Link] As you can see from my Case I have plenty of airflow and space with nothing impeding airflow. All my wiring is run behind the back of the case so all you see is the board and components. Temperatures inside a case will vary with weather, it is summertime and the average temp outside is going to be 85F naturally those temps that were 70C inside a case will now raise as well.

As I stated in my initial post having dual monitors I have watched how 2 games released withing a similar period Starcraft II and FFXIV access my hardware. Starcraft II does not heat my system up the way FFXIV does, it is properly optimized. FFXIV runs a good 20C hotter then most games I play, SE needs to work on this to reduce the load the game is putting on our systems.

With Nvidia i am lucky I can actually move some of my physX processing off my video card and over to unused cores on my CPU, do a few more tweaks and get some better performance but that is only a band aid on the issues. The game is not optimized for a PC, the video cards and CPU's that most of us ran out and bought because of Beta are several times more powerful then the stuff inside of a PS3, this game should be running flawless on ANY 6 core processor and 400GTX series card/ATI 5000X series card yet it does not.

This is bad programming any way you look at it. The game needs to have a client developed for PC not for PS3 then ported to PC or whatever people are saying that they do. I am not a computer programmer, I am however a licensed and certified Hardware Tech, and I can tell you with the utmost certainty this is the only game that accesses the hardware in this fashion.
