running this game my gpu reaches 100ºC with no overclocking at all

[raaaid]

i get huge fps, 60 inside the plane and 80 outside

and thats the thing sometimes it goes 100º at 70 fps and other times it gets 80º at 25 fps

i made sure its not overclocked, the gpu is set to default

i think limiting the frames would solve it

any way to limit the frames?

Well, make some tea then!

I used Bandicam to quickly limit the framerate. Made the flight smoother, too.

Does anyone have some good CPU heatsink recipes?

Start by cleaning yor GPU from dust! No GPU feels good good at 100°!

Vsync could help maybe.... (as long as you don't have a monitor which is capable to run 100 Hz.)

Improve airflow in the case, i.e. additional fans.

Just increase the fan speed with a manual curve/graph .EVGA Precision or MSI Afterburner software allow you to do this .

My GTX580 gets to around 70 degrees in CloD giving me splendid FPS at high/very high settings... But it has good cooling and my chassis has good airflow etc.

But it's nice to hear that a rather modest card like that gives you good performance at least :)

Like others have said here - try cleaning up the card and improve airflow in the chassis.

Fahrenheit or Celsius?

[raaaid]

100º celsius though now im keeping it at 85

[r0bc]

As others said Install afterburner and enable the default fan profile

[raaaid]

yes that helped a lot

if only now i could make planes visible at closer than 2 km, as soon as dots are at 2 km they dissapear :(

Raaaid,

Use EVGA precision Tool, that's what I'm using and I've got my fps locked at 35fps. Temps are about 45deg both cards and useage about 50% both cards. It has also lowered the V/ram use by about 100mb.

Check and make sure you have both slots clear where you card exits not just the one for your monitor connection. The modern cards need two panels removed otherwise you will be blocking the V/card air discharge and forcing it back into the case area.

Check that you have the lower case fan bringing in air and the rest discharging air.

im running 2 gtx 570's and they did run hot but i use evga precision

made a fan curve so that im at 100% fam speed when my cards hit 60 degrees c

cards verry rarely get over 62 c
