CPU Overheating
My CPU overheats or at least go way beyond ( +15 to 20C) any other game I have ever played.
It happens only when I am playng Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
I am playng other games with high demand on PC and some of them have a bit higher requierments but Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is the only one that causes overheating.

My specs:
CPU i5-2500 3.6Ghz
10Gb RAM
Win - 7
GTX 660 - 2Gb
Native resolution 1600x900

If your computer's not shutting down, you're not 'overheating.' Your CPU was built and tested to survive temperatures in excess of 150 degrees celsius, and if it reaches critical temperatures, it'll throttle itself long before your computer actually shuts down. It's virtually impossible to 'overheat' a modern CPU.

Vassago Rain, thank You for your quick response!

But why the temp is going so high and so fast?
In a mater of seconds when the game is minimised the temp goes from normal 60 degrees to about of 74 then 78 then 80 and rising.
Actually when I'm playng the game, the higher the load (shootout or beautiful saturated enviorment or anything that causes drop in FPS) the less CPU heat I get.
I have tried to use only 2 or even 1 of the cores but the temp is still rising.
This is quite unusual.

Because the game is very demanding, and if you're seeing temperatures like that, you don't have enough cooling. MD effectively replaced games like crysis 3 for benchmarking purposes, and is still used for that 3 years on.

Your machine is also way underpowered for this game, barely hitting the min-specs, especially your graphics card. Disable the more demanding features, like subsurface scattering, and experiment with the settings until you find something that runs smooth. Options like sharpen, blur, and bloom let you cover up low framerate, to a point, and still get an enjoyable experience, and you can use the nvidia control panel to set maximum pre-rendered frames, and other little tricks, so it feels and plays smoother than it actually is.

The game requires a lot of tweaking to get the most out of it, but it does scale both up and down fairly well, as long as you're not afraid of pressing the buttons in the options menu.

I think that it is a problem with MD itself, because I have seen other posts on people with the same problem.Also not long time ago I have had the same issue with 2009 Dragon Age game which is way bellow my PC specs.
The game itself had this problem causing CPU reaching extreme temps.
