[2020] keep getting CPU temperature error since arch patch came

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz

Desktop Color Depth: 32 bits per pixel

Monitor Refresh Rate: 240 Hz

these are my specs. the first bluescreen crash i had was when i was doing quests last month. i seem to get cpu temp error over quests and now even when playing runescape normally. i noticed i get alot of crashes when doing quests.

i've run compatibility mode as well n had cpu temp error for a few times when just afking arch.

i have no idea why but ever since arch patch came i suspect it messed up smth.

ive looked up google n ppl seem to be complaining about NXT but i havent found a good solution

i've reinstalled, cleared cache, updated drivers n everything n i only get crashes with runescape on. nvr had issues with other games.

any smart people in the chat that can help? ty :)

We added a couple of new video effects with Archaeology (Depth-of-field, highlighting) which could be making your computer use a few more resources than it can handle. A lot of the new areas are also a bit more graphically demanding than usual, especially since there's a lot more players gathered in those areas. It sounds like a hardware issue that your CPU cooler can't keep up with the amount of work your CPU is doing, so I'd check:

Make sure your CPU fan/cooler is running properly and not full of dust
Make sure your CPU isn't overclocked too much

If you want an easy short-term fix just for Runescape, you can turn the framerate down in the graphics settings:

Settings -> Graphics -> Foreground FPS

Try setting that to 120 or 60 to reduce the amount of work your computer will be doing.

Hope that helps!
