    What are the normal GTX460M fan speeds at idle and load typically?

    Right now I'm idling at like 55 with RPM of 2760 rpm as reported by HWinfo 64. It also says gpu fan is at 100% ? Anyhow when gaming it does up to 3720 rpm and my temps max out at like 82. This is hotter than I would like although my ambient room temp is prob on the hotter side (not sure exact temp).

    Last night after long gaming session then stopping and watching some youtube videos I had a gpu crash with artefacts all over. I restarted and now its ok but I am obviously concerned. Do these rpm values look ok to you?

    I have ordered some compressed air cans so I will blow the system out once they arrive. I was also thinking about a notebook cooler but reading threads it seems it wont help much and this system's cooling system is one of the best as is.

    As far as I know, those temperatures are well within normal. My 460m gets up to a max of 83-85 C. If the temperatures are normal, then the fan must be working properly.

    Could the artifacts be from overclocking?
