What is an unhealthy temp for videocards?

fps justin · March 24th, 2006

Title says it all. What is an unhealthy temperature for GPUs in general and more specifically the 6600gt.

Anything higher than 70C is pushing the limits.

I generally like to keep my card below 60C. My 6600GT right now is loading at around 53.

I would agree. Mine seems to run warm with the Zalman VF700-AlCu (up to 70ÂºC load)... Maybe I need to reseat it or something PDT_Armataz_25
