Thermal throttling starts around 90 C on any CPU in the past few generations, if they told you this, they are flat out lying to you. 60 C is normal for gaming under load

60 C is actually the ideal gaming temperature. To prevent wear out and premature bricking. Hell even 70 C is doable, I just dont recommend it for long term usage.
What is that blizz guy even talking about? Can you copy and paste that email?
Can we all see that email? It is hard to believe they are that stupid…

Last night during Mythic Terros whenever the Resto Druid popped his healing CD’s it’d cause the whole raid to have massive FPS issues. It’d cause my screen to completely lock up for about 5-6 seconds.

It wasn’t said directly to me. The automated message linked the following article when naming troubleshooting before I send them a screenshot of my thermals under game load.
- Review the max temperatures reached in HWMonitor. You may have an overheating issue if your CPU goes over 60 degrees celsius, or your video card (GPU) goes over 80 degress celsius.

Did anyone see the stuttering during AWC live games btw? And Blizzard keep denying any issues.

I haven’t. Gonna have to check that out.
But these stutters and whatever it is has gotten worse because I’m seeing it more in old content.
Last night I stuttered so badly doing my mount farm run in Ulduar. I have done this raid off-and-on thru my off-and-on relationship with WoW. Never had issues. Had issues since returning. But this week takes the cake. I normally set 100 lowest to 165fps. Normally staying there. Last night couldn’t get passed 90 and stuttered as low as 10fps. No matter the low or high settings (doesn’t help anywhere).
I pulled all the mobs from Freya together… Over the years never had my screen lock nor these stutters. Since returning I had stutters but last night my screen locked for 5-6 seconds and hit 10fps a lot… In old-school content…
Algalon’s last was a stutter fest. That dialogue normally since returning was at 165fps… Last night 90 to 40fps…
That’s happening on over 12-13 years old content… Gonna test it again on the toons I need to run thru.
Haven’t checked the stutter isle this week. As if I’m having issues with old content I don’t wanna deal with dragon isle and dragon-riding stutters.
Edit: My laptop is setting at 75c - 70c. I did no sound… Sound… Weekly deleting my WTF, Interface, & Cache files after reset…
@fuglumugly have you raided and seen any more issues with sound? I tried the no sound no changes for me 
. Even last night.
@shyspy, read the eu forum you linked and others over there… Makes me wonder about the other regions what they are saying.
Edit 2: Fixed phones autocorrect bs.

I did.
I also see it on gameplay footage from other youtubers. T&E, if you watch their footage it’s awful.

Problem from that article is that they don’t specify what temp overheating is, and at which point it starts to affect performance.
It’s vague and what they told you about 60 C is quite frankly, disingenuous.

No sound continues to work for me. I just do not enjoy it. Occasionally playing with music is fine…but when I am raiding and doing keys I would prefer sound.
Blizzard get your shizz together. This is beyond ridiculous at this point. Borderline absurd…

Any solutioons? I’m still getting like 0 fps ever since 10.0.5 launch.

More than disingenuous, it’s completely false and misleading in the most deliberately obtuse way.

Yeah even I’m inclined to agree. Most CPUs don’t even start thermal throttling until 85-90C.
That being said, WoW only uses four threads, so 60C on the total package temp can still mean one or core cores are much hotter than that, since that 60C is usually a total average. For instance: let’s say your CPU has 8c/16t or something. So on a CPU like that, it might say 60C, but if you look at all the core temps, the main game thread core might be 85C. You’ll know which core it is because it’s the one that always sits at like 100% usage when there’s a lot of players around. Well depending on the make of the CPU, that might cause that core to start throttling.
EDIT: Oh and I forgot to mention that you won’t typically find too much of a core temp difference, like maybe 5-10C tops in extreme cases, due to them all being thermally linked together, so that 60C people said they said is still a bit ridiculous. If they were sitting at like 75C, then yeah, maybe it would be close enough to the throttling threshold.
Had to block pawg getting tired of all the stuff he’s been writing in this thread. I don’t normally do it but him for some reason it was getting irritating plus he was always saying it was our computer and not bliz which aggravated me more than anything.

“applying the suggested command into wow”
I don’t understand this comment at all. 1) what is the suggested command 2) how do you apply that command into wow?
Thanks

Yes its the end user computer. all 80,000 of you need to buy new computers. At least thats the quota hardware manufacturers made gave us.
- Blizzard please force 800,00 users to buy new hardware
- Hardware industry pays Blizzard $10,000,000 in return.
or something like that. just as likely as anything with this issue going on this long and no solution in sight, and very very little acknowledgement.
*This thread saved me $900 on a new video card purchase because I can see now that my video card is NOT the problem.

That is one crazy conspiracy theory. I dont know if that is what is going on, I just know something is going on here…
This just feels wrong they are taking this long to do anything. Lack of communication spurs on this kind of imagination I guess…
But what do I know. It could be true.

Has anyone tried to see if the performance is better on a low pop server?

Performance is better on low pop servers, simply because the main culprit to the stutters is other players. Some NPCs and assets also causes stuttering, but that’s in the minority. EVERY player causes stutters. Would also say that the loading times are longer than it was during Sl and the day before pre-patch went live, even from/to older zones.

I didnt know if it made a difference enough just to play on low pop servers so we can play

It’s funny because whenever I was bored and wanted to pvp, I would just fly around until i got the stutter, then I knew i was in the vicinity of another player.
