[Dev] Overtaxation of PC Hardware

(I'm guessing it was a typo since xi has been out forever)

I don't think it is, as the last several nVidia drivers have had odd issues with FFXI.

Because I don't have my System OC, these temperatures are default temps on an Air cooled system. I have no options but to do that if I want to play this summer, and I am sorry that is unacceptable, Stop defending SE for a poorly coded client when 30 ppl have told you this is an issue.

Your system has major cooling issues if you need to run an air conditioner for the sake of keeping the PC cool at any time, much less 24/7. Something tells me your PC is running hotter than it should even when you're not playing games.

Uh by air cooled he means fans, not an air conditioner. Tech thread exit is right over there -->

Nah my PC is not running hotter then it should be, as I stated numerous times heat is only an issue with FFXIV. When I power my PC on my CPU temp is 24C idle, when XIV is running it is 32C. I have swapped cases from a Raidmax to a Corsair 800D re-thermal pasted everything with IC Diamond 24 paste. The only thing I have not done is swapped out the stock fan on my GPU. The GPU really does seem to be working hard when playing XIV and that is it. This is the only game I have seen those temperatures from, so in reality it must be an issue with the way XIV is rendering and storing things in memory.
