My GTX760M used to run the client on max settings w/o temp issues but now (just came back to the game after half a year away) the game causes it to run at 85-90C at all times, and I even experienced a computer shutdown while in-game because of this.
I searched for threads on the issue and the only advice I found was to select Interval One in graphics settings, which I already had. Any other options that could be stressing the GPU temp-wise that I could change?
This is on Acer Aspire V3-772G laptop
i7-4702MQ
8GB RAM
DirectX 11
Windows 8.1 x64

You could try turning all of your graphics settings off/on lowest and start turning things back on one by one. Some graphics settings are fairly new additions, like the asteroid specific settings. If you've updated your graphics driver (which you likely have by now) and have selected to do a clean install, that would revert any NVIDIA Contral Panel settings you've made to their defaults, so you may want to gloss over those settings just in case.
I usually keep Post Processing, Anti-Alaising, GPU Particles, Asteroid Environments, Load Station Environments, and Light Rays off, and keep Shadow Quality and Interior Effects/Shader Quality down to lowest. Game still looks good (though you can tell AA is off on 1080) and my card never gets to 70's Celsius even if I zoom in on Blood Raider Blockade, and I run on a GTX 660 which I've been told is not a card known to run very cool under load. Also, consider setting you card's fans to run at max when Eve runs at all rather than running on a fan curve...noisy, yes, but usually better than telling it to wait for your card to get hot before cooling it off.
If that does not help at all, then you may want to consider the possibility that your problem is hardware related (borked card, fan not actually running, bad thermal paste, etc.). |

Thanks for the reply.

Will try this. Haven't used any overclocking software until now.

I played War Thunder over the last year or so and didn't have any similar issues with it for that whole time, however started experiencing the GPU overheating in the last couple of weeks. So this might be hardware-related - thanks for that tip as well.
In the end all you really have is memories

Same here, i just got back after a break and noticed that the game puts my GPU under a huge load, around 95 - 99% thats insane! Its not like eve looks better than it did when i left around 6 months ago. Turning everything on low makes the game look hell ugly. I am not even having this kind of issues with StarCitizen.
btw i am running a GTX 660 OC 2GB |

So after further troubleshooting i found a workaround, putting the game from fullscreen to fixed window mode, reduced the load on the gpu to 30-35%. Go figure. |

I have a persistent problem where the game only runs on my Integrated chip on the CPU, not my GTX 635M, even when I tell it to in the NVidia Control Panel.
90 Celsius when on lowest graphics settings, zoomed all the way out, sitting stationary at a POS, with around 30 FPS. That's fun.

All settings are unfortunately to low (1680x1050) and my GPU temp hits about 80-85 as well. I've too noticed a slight increase in GPU demand for a while now 
GTX GeForce 560.
