Hi all

Just got out of AC4 which I've just reinstalled. It was fine last time - pc handled it very well.

But this time, HWMonitor reports that the cpu and motherboard maxed at 128 degrees C! I'm guessing if that had really happened I would have noticed burning smells and throttling...

Was this just a glitch with HWMonitor?

Thanks for any help.

Thanks guys. Agree it would have shut down... seems kind of obvious now... but the vents did feel exceptionally warm when I put a hand there, so I just wanted peace of mind. Sorry mods for the bit of a silly question! :)
