This explains the artifacts I would regularly see on the main screen if I left it there for a while. Though, I just got a new rig, with a big fuckoff HAF-something case with enough room to swing a samoan tiger and enough fans to make a movie star blush, so airflow should be pretty good.

I hope my video card is okay. It is brand new and my room has been getting really hot when playing SC2 versus playing Just Cause 2 or GTA IV or AvP. A lot of times when a game would be loading I'd leave it on the loading screen and use the restroom.

So.. how do we know which of them are talking crap and which know what they're talking about? You didn't give us too many clues on that.

Im just another random guy in the "swarm". You have no reason to listen to my opinion on who is right. Hell, i even have a low post count to boot. You should definitely not listen to me.

All replies to this post have to be approved by mgj beforehand - please include a PM from him saying "comment approved" before replying.

That is really not what i am after. But when the subject of the discussion is potential risks to your hardware, be cautious about who you trust. People dont seem to realize they are on a gaming forum, im just trying to warn them and teach them to be critical about what they read. Noone wants their expensive hardware to die because of something silly like that.

I did this in the beta and fixed all my problems. I totally didn't do it with the launch client because I assumed that...


they would have put an auto fix or an option or something.

Oh well atleast there IS a fix

That's actually really funny. I've been reading all over forums where peoples graphics cards, are and I quote, "melting". Maybe Blizzard should prepackage the game with a class II fire extinguisher? muahaha

I have 2 sets of variables.txt - one being C:\Users\MYNAME\Documents\StarCraft II, and the other being C:\Users\MYNAME\Documents\StarCraft II\Accounts\1874957 (<--- my account number?)

EDIT: Wow I'm dumb. The second variables doesn't have any of the stuff the \Starcraft II\variables.txt has. No need to change that.
RIP GOMTV. RIP PROLEAGUE.

OK, well I have absolutely no problems with overheating. Highest I have seen it go is 56c. The idea here though makes sense to me. Yes, your gfx cards are designed to work at full load, you need to get better cards or cooling if it can't.
However, having the game make the gfx card work to its max to give a blistering fps on a menu screen is silly. I don't need ultra high fps for menus, having them capped at 60fps seems entirely reasonable, let the card take a break on something inconsequential and go full load when it matters, ingame.
Shall we play a game?

get off your high horse please. you haven't contributed anything in this thread so far except call an ambiguous group of people misinformed.
the world's a playground. you know that when you're a kid, but somewhere along the way everyone forgets it.

Any hardware can die because of overheating since hardware can't decide for itself that it's getting pretty hot.


Oh my god, you are so wrong.

Im not really trying to take a moral highground, im just as bad as the rest, i even say so in the post you quoted. Hell, i might even be a bit worse since i added that insulting punchline. I somehow doubt the thread needs another "I think its like this" post. If you read the thread, i have asked to people who i consider to be unclear (read: wrong) for a clarification. Hopefully people are smart enough to decide for themself after an explaination. I consider that contributing, you do not. Fair enough.

Suit yourself people. Go ahead and recommend overclocking of passively cooled cards and similar advice which have been posted on this site in the past. Its not my hardware.

You don't unless you leave the game menu running for hours while you are alseep, go ride your bike 10 miles etc. I still find all this amusing since no other game limits framerate. Could you imagine a company that makes a fps asking customers to limit framerates?
There's no S in KT. :P
