Way to cap FPS in menus sans Vsync?

For some reason the oblivion engine loves to render nothing in menus ala sc2 and thus my GPU is working 120% and goes upwards of 100*C wheni'm in them and also talking to peope too. What i want to do is just put a hard cap at 60FPS for everything, i've already got streamline which isets the game world stuff at 30FPS but i also want to do the same thing with the menus and such and since when i was in the game world, my FPS sans all nautral things(i believe that the oblivion engine itself couldn't handle all of thep rettiness) it now runs at ~80% gpu load average once i've put on Vsync, but the in game things drop to like 5-10FPS and that's because streamline's limiting it to 30FPS max which means it's actually only getting 1/2 of thenormal performance max since vsync loves to do that. Now this wouldn't be a huge deal except in the parts where it is. Anyway, is there any way to cap the FPS of the game without using vsync. Mainly my problem is with Menus, and also the menu whenyou're talking to an NPC before i had vsync on they were at something like 100+FPS with menus going into the several hundreds. What i'd like to do is to have everything set at like 30FPS but without having to use vsync and also tripple buffer. Is there some ini setting or OBSE plugin to do that?

You can try Oblivion Stutter Remover : http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=23208

 

It has a FPS cap feature and, for having used it myself, I think it limits FPS everywhere in the game, including the menus. You will have to read carefully the description, but the setting in the ini file (OSR ini file, not Oblivion ini file) is easy to find and the creator of thi obse plugin gives good descriptions on what to do nd what not to do, so it should be quite safe, I think.

i'm already using htat and it DOES NOT affect menus for some extremely odd reason. And i wish that it did since pointless rendering menus at extremely high FPS makes absolutely no sense.

It is very strange, then, because it DOES affect menus in my install of oblivion. Is your OBSE up-to-date? I know it might be a stupid question, but that could be a possibility
