Recently in final fantasy, I have been getting heat warnings in my computer while doing things like dynamis. There is absolutely NO WAY this game can be pushing my computer to these limits, yet here I am with this dilema.
Specs
Amd Athalon X2 4000+ 2.2 ghz dual core
2x EVGA Nvidia 8600 GTS 512mb, Basically the 512 version of this card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130394
4 gigs of kingston ddr2 800
My motherboard is an Asus board, forget the specs. I am getting these warning in ffxi only. I do not have such problems in BF2, Any of the FEAR series, any steam games, and Crysis gives me none of these troubles. I have repeatedly ran Virus scans, did a registry fix, reseated my processor and applied a fresh coat of artic silver with a new fan, and have even flashed my bios via the battery removal. All of these things gave me about 1 week worth of leeway before my CPU was reaching temps of 55c. My bios is set to shut off my PC at 65c and the alarm at 55c. While running the game in windowed mode, Im seeing it barely reach 55c. Usually running at 45, with 50 during dynamis. But every few times I will sit at 54.5 and then occasionally reach 55. It will hover at 54.9 and 55 making my computer buzz like some little kid who just found the joys of a doorbell. If anyone can shed any light onto this problem, please help.
