Can anyone give me a link to an fps limiter? I need one so I can play Red Faction Guerilla without my vga overheating. Thanks.
A framerate limiter isn't going to solve a hardware problem.
Its not a hardware problem. My vga card runs the game at such a high frame rate that it over heats its self.
Edit: Lol well I guess overheating is a hardware problem.
Uh, no. The card is overheating because it's inadequately cooled. Check for dust buildup clogging the heatsink and fan, and if the fan is spinning properly.
Umm no, I had the same problem with minecraft. It was overheating running minecraft because it was running it at 1200 fps. When I turned the in-game frame limiter off the temperature dropped from 155 degrees to 104 degrees. btw thats F not C.
Its not inadequately cooled, and its not a problem with the drivers I just built this computer.
Your card isn't running at 1200 FPS. It's most likely running at less than 1 FPS, and your member buffer isn't changing at all due to a hardware issue, giving game/engine logic an apparent high FPS count. VGA graphics? You [i]just[/i] built this computer?

Also, you can't naturally limit frames across all games with an external application. You should never be attempting to either. Anything that attempts to would be detouring rendering code which developers shouldn't be fucking with unless you know specifically what you're doing per-game, unless you release the utility just for people to dick around with.
You have another issue here, and it sounds like it's at the hardware level, not the software level. What graphics card are you using anyway?
This computer is running minecraft at 1200 fps, I have a 1.8 ghz gpu and a 3.4 ghz quad-core. Plus 16 gigs of ram. Minecraft is not very demanding graphics wise it just uses a lot of RAM. So yes my computer was running minecraft at 1200 fps. You guys are not helping much. All I want is a frame rate limiter.
Yes I have. Doesn't seem to work for this game. Well, it works. I mean it made things slightly better.
Well the only other thing I can suggest is seriously optimizing the layout of your pc's insides, to stop lower the heat as much as possible.

A video cards cooling system should keep the card adequately cooled, even under maximum load. You have a problem with your cooling system, any sort of frame rate limiter is not a crutch for a broken cooling system.
Another issue which sounds completely backwards is turning off an in-game frame limiter causing your card temp to actually drop.
Well... This vga card is inserted fairly close to my psu... I think the psu is venting into the vga card's cooling system.I could move it up a few slots and see if that works.
Set Minecraft to use Power Saver, then in the Nvidia control panel go into the per app settings part, and add "javaw.exe" and configure the settings (You want Triple Buffered to true, and Vsync to ON)
Those settings take me from 600fps in Minecraft to a stable 60fps.
Edit: And my GTX570 only ever goes up to about 95c, and that's under full load in a game like Just Cause 2 or Crysis.

The DirectCU II design is flawed - the cooler is too heavy and pulls away from the GPU chip slightly resulting in anything from major overheating to slightly poor cooling.
You need to use cable ties or similar between the end of the cooler furthest from the PCI slot bracket and a drive bay.
Once properly physically supported, the DCII design provides amazing cooling performance.
