[quote="DEAMOND"]Screenshot : https://imgur.com/a/9H9ZGkL I've recently noticed that my PC has been getting extremely hot lately, and i thought well as here in the UK it's been pretty damn hot this was the cause, however it appears this isn't correct! I thought perhaps this was just a cooling issue, so updated my mobo drivers, checked all the fans etc. Soma takes around 15% CPU usage on my I7-7700K It's not being overclocked. I decided to run another game, Hitman and this takes up about 30% Cpu usage and my CPU Temp remains the average 35C. Im using a H115I Watercooler with 2 140mm fans and 3 140mm case fans, With soma closed, My Package of Temp is around 35C, as soon as i press play to soma and it prompts for U/N & PW it doubles to 65C-70C, If i open another instance, It then hits around 75-80C I'm on windows 10, and recently rolled back the latest update due to the dual monitor stutter. It seems strange that only soma is causing my temperature to double for a small CPU usage and no other application. I know for a fact it hasn't always been this way, does anyone else have any similar issues?? Thanks! [/quote]

[quote="DEAMOND"]I've re-applied thermal paste to my CPU and watercooler and this seems to have improved temp wise.[/quote]

[quote="PETCHTHO"]Lack of optimization most probably. Happens with myself; newer games which should be using at least 50% more resources run smoother, cooler, and actually use less of my CPU resource. I think newer games are clearly more optimized for newer CPU technology than soma is/was. Probably unavoidable due to the engine.[/quote]
