GC Overheating in SC2?

QUOTE
The following information was taken from: http://gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/201...eating-bug.aspx

"Anyone else have StarCraft II try to melt their hardware? Blizzard admits that it's a known issue and has a fix for you.

Apparently, the game's menu screens aren't framerate-limited. This means that when there's nothing else going on, your graphics hardware renders the bejeezus out of those screens, causing nasty overheating problems. The fix is easy, requiring players to add the following lines to your "Documents\StarCraft II\variables.txt" file:

frameratecapglue=30
frameratecap=60

Good to know. Personally I would have appreciated a heads-up before my video card fried, but maybe this can save someone else from the hassle I've been dealing with since yesterday afternoon."

Keep Bumped.

I played SC2 non-stop on Sunday from 12noon till night time 11pm for Campaign mode all set on High-Ultra. Didn't face any problem on that day with this setting:
frameratecapglue=30
frameratecap=60

Actually morning time from 8-10am then after lunch continue again laugh.gif
