Firefox Favourite Manga Dragonball	Dark Souls III is fantastic but my CPU temp hovers around 65C when playing and with my fans maxed. Not the worst in the world but this is on lowest settings, windowed and with no side panel on my PC. Short of investing in a new heat sink, is there much else I can do to make it cooler?

Firefox Favourite Manga Dragonball	I am using the stock cooler. It's at 40 when idle. It also cools really quickly. I used paste. The game runs smooth as silk and it never goes above 65 but I don't like that my fan is maxed all the time. It's not healthy.

But, if you do play continuously for more than an hour then it's gonna eventually start to heat up no matter how low your screen resolution or graphics is set. You should not play games continuously for more than an hour or two. Try to break up the total hours into smaller discrete hours with a decent gap between them.
