wodin -> RE: off topic temps (7/6/2012 3:44:45 AM)

My old 4870 card used to run around 65 or so and I had the fan set at max. I now have a 6850 and it runs alot cooler, hitting around 50 max and idle around 33. Some cards run hotter than others. Laptop cards prob run hotter as it doesn't have the fans a desktop has. My CPU is overclocked I have a decent fan on it so runs idle around 36 and hot around 55 to 60. As long as the laptop is cutting out or your getting graphical artifacts temps aren't a problem, though they do say high temps shorten the life of the tech be it CPU's or Graphic Cards. Your temps are hot, but for a laptop maybe not so. I'd look for one of those laptop coolers they can sit on that have fans etc or made of cooling material. Also never place your laptop on a soft surface or on your lap and not on a tray as you can cover the vents.
