Its not a matter of crappy computers or cooling, its more a matter of the game having somewhat bad coding/optimization regarding the shaders, where you previously might of thought an overclock you did was totally stable (even stress tested with a graphically intensive game like crysis) but then with PSO2 you might get graphical errors because PSO2s shaders do seem to use shaders in some way that tend to make cards run hot, despite the game not being an insane graphical tour de force (I'm not knocking this games graphics btw, it looks amazing and blows Diablo 3s 2004-esque graphics doors off)
For example a user on these very forums kept experiencing the 'error' graphical error all over the game constantly, and I brought up the issue of a possible unstable CPU or GPU overclock due to the games shaders already making the game run hot on higher settings, and the user realized that yes they had overclocked previously and looked into it and found their overclock program/drivers was nowhere to be found and they kinda dodged a bullet by catching it when they did (since excessively high temps can definitely kill a video card after enough time)
I wasn't commenting on the games shaders tendency to cause cards to run hot to bash on the game, its just one of those things with the game that happens.
