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.

At least when the computer bursts in to flames, you can see the fire in high definition.

Good thing I got a Zalman 9700 CPU Cooler, an Antec 900 case with all fans on high, and a 4850x2 with both fans that run on high during games. Sure its loud, but when my OC'd temps are lower than most normal clocked temps, I'm happy.

BTW, the game is awesome!!
