Is it normal, whenever I use SCAR(and especially S.M.A.R.T.), my computer starts to overheat? It is a regular computer which I bought just a year ago…

Highly irregular i'd say, try dusting out your tower if it's full of dust or if the fan is clogged.

The strange thing is that it doesn't happens with highly intensive games like Crysis, Far Cry 2.etc..
But I'm gonna try to reinstall…
Hope it works….

If you can play Crysis, it is not SCAR overheating your PC. Whats your specs?

Are you sure what you are noticing is overheating and not some other issue? If Crysis doesn't cause your computer to overheat I can assure you that smart isn't either.

I just uninstalled SCAR and SMART and now it stopped overheating, so there went probably something wrong in my first installation.
But now everything works fine :spot:
