72C for 3870 under load OK?

I've just finished a round of R6 Vegas: 2 and I've noticed that my GPU temps hit around ~72C under load. When idling, I'm somewhere around ~50C.

Are these normal temps?

 

yep, those temps are about right.

 

at the risk of getting it wrong, but everything i have read regarding temps in these forums tells me that the 72 is okies...but i digress if i am not correct.

 

Rad. All I needed to know.

Thanks guys.

 

those r good temps this is a tx1000 hp its a 13 inch and useing intergrated graphics they hit 103C i wasnt even doing anythign i had it set to high performance and was typeing collage notes whoaaa

 

Did it arrive today?!

 

hey, same kind of question here, im playing WaW maxed out (except for 2xAA), and hitting 87 and 85....is that alright?

 

Its a little hot for comfort. 80c and below is my considered safe temps. Some will say 85-90c but that runs closer to the thermal shut off point.

Some cards will downclock around 90-105c. Thats why its best to stay as far as you can.

Try raising the back of your notebook, get a notebook cooler, etc.

 

cool thanks man....yeah i ordered the cryo couple of days ago so should be getting it end of this week....
thanks again

 

That should be right, played Mirror's Edge max settings and wound up around 70c.

-Though 80c and up is kinda dangerous, my laptop is raised on all four corners with bottle caps at all times.

 

I've been through this whole GPU heat argument with tons of people already so I'll just tell you the shorter version. The highest that you want your GPU to go is from 88C - 92C. Anywhere lower than that is considered fine. If you go from forum to forum you will see that a lot of notebooks get that hot and some even get into the 100's quite often (not good at all).

72C is amazing.

 

Yup my old hp with the 8600m gs hit 100c and i was scared so i shut it off and bought a cooler and it never went past 75

 

well mine never hits past 70 c on fallout 3 on full rez and deatail you are good my friend

 

OK I just finished playing Devil May Cry 2xAA 1400x900,
the card was at 92C When I finished playing, does anyone know if this could be a problem with my notebook? Its the M15x with the 8800 card, I got a notebook cooler coming soon but it still could be a problem with the notebook no?

 

yeah, for the most part mine hit about 70-78ºC, but left 4 dead runs my GPU's up at 87ºC, one time peaking at 96ºC.

thats perhaps the only thing i don't like about that game.

 

Dont blame the game. AW has been known to have unsatisfactory cooling especially for a high end machine.

 

i just hit 77c WWHHHHHHOOOOOOO YEA after full rez high detail fallout 3 whoo lol it was 3 hours though in my bed not enough air getting in .. i think i got lucky mine will idle like 46-49 c so far its pretty hard to get this thing hot is i stick to 1280 i stick around 69c
