Dragon age Inquisition --CPU overheating
I play all kinds of games (Starcraft, intensive graphics shooters etc...) and my CPU temperatures never ever go higher then 65degrees. With Dragon Age inquisition, I get between 80-90degress cons...

I am getting the same problem.
AMD 8350 (8 cores) Water Cooled
Usage ranges between 75-100% on all cores while DA:I is running.
Average play time is 30 min before my rig shuts down due to overheating.
On reboot I get an error from the BIOs "North Bridge over temprature"
This is really pissing me off!
I play alot of games and NONE have ever gotten close to overheating my rig. Not even Skyrim with 100 mods on Ultra.
We need answers and solutions, or at least respond.
Thanks
yep same thing for me aswell
Not the game, even my air cooled old 8GB, Nividia 9600 computer never overheated with DAI. My liquid cooled i&, 32 GB tops out at 70 with the game.
What I do may be the difference.
I open the case and dust inside my computers once a month.
Shut down and clean vents and fans with SD alcohol once every 4 months.
Inspect the thermal past twice a year, and replace it if needed.
Might be a bit of overkill but, a clean rig is a cool rig, and a cool rig is a happy rig.
I'd give dusting and cleaning a try, and check the thermal paste. Might be that's all it is.

@DarkAmaranth1966 How do you inspect the thermal gel? I would assume by removing the heatsink, but doesn't that mean you'd have to apply new thermal gel regardless?
No you open it up and run a benchmark test w/o air circulating in the room, if you see heat waves, time to pull it apart and replace the paste. At least that's what the professor that helped me on my first build said to do, so I have always done it.
After a while you kind of learn the life of the paste you use so, jsut know it's been long enough, but on a rig with an new brand, or one you didn't build, looking for heat waves is supposedly a good indicator of a problem with the paste.
