Has StarCraft II melted your machine yet? Blizzard has officially admitted that itÃ¢Â€Â™s a known issue and that there is a fix to it all. Here\'s the workaround for the beta, which will presumably work on the full game by using the proper directory:

I just visited the Starcraft 2 forums, wow that place is full of fanboy suckers.

Actually I only went to see if a blueblizztard really said "renders the shit out of those screens"

What i dont get about this, is why is it going to damage the machine to render a scene with nothing in high fps as compared to a scene with a lot of details in lower fps. The graphics card does the same amount of work(it does have a top limit). It seems to me like its a question of insufficient cooling rather than a SC2 problem.
Granted there is no reason why there shouldn't be fps limits on the menu, but stil..l. If a machine "melts" because of running a scene with few details, it would be bound to happen regardless.

played over 3h last night no overheat.
that file isn't located in the final version.
nothing in there forums about this issue atm.
OLD NEWS i guess.

but on the other end, there are a hell of a lot of people with issues right now with the game. it really wasnt ready to come out yet, could have used 3 more months of polish.

thats just BS or people have dust carpets in their computers. My 5850 get's to ~80C with 40% fan speed, menu or no menu. Crysis renders 999fps in menu, SC2 renders ~90. I don't see a problem. Perhaps this is just a way to market a product saying "our game is so advanced that it can fry your computer". Utter BS.
