    255 CELCIUS DERGEE!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: I can bake a pizza with my M17x.

    Windows 7 64-bit, BIOS A03, Zalman NC2000 underneath and 1 hour playing Crysis! Q9000 @ 2.4GHz.

    I've also never ever ever ever ever ever seen 96C nor 85C on my GTX 260 before. The max temp I got on my system before was somewhere 75C I think.

    I have just clean the dust and am gonna play Crysis again to see what will happen!

    But I think it showed wrong number right? No way it can be 255C. That's just ridiculous :confused:

    Has to be a miss read 150C would cook it and make the board black.

    Not sure i think its funny as some of those temps could be correct however the 250C is not.

    Your 260 is a bit too hot as well.

    Yea and this is the same program that reports my desktop's PSU temp at -18c, and all my voltages at 18.3v.

    Try GPU-Z, it's much much more accurate (most of the time)

    LOL I ran Crysis for an hour again and this time everything is perfectly normal. Once again I'm amazed with M17x cooling system:

    Oh it's too funny :p Now I don't think the second result is reliable either. Gonna check it with GPU-Z.

    Thanks :)
