    Hey guys, a friend of mine has hit temps of 85C on her GPU. Could you tell me at what too hot is too hot, and what is ok? Thanks.

    85 C is not excessive for in game use. What was she doing when the temp reached 85? For idle I have seen 40-60 C (from various users). In game 60-90 + is normal- thermal shutdown happens above 110 C.

    If you start hitting over 90C, it's time to worry, if you hit over 100C, it's high time you do something about it.

    She was playing WoW. And thanks, I'll be glad to tell her her this, although she has lost some frames in her game...

    I have had two G73JH's one GPU was near 90c at load after a repaste which helped. The one I just picked up for $400us is 79c under full load overclocked 850/1100 (I might up the voltage a little and go for 900/1200). Just depends on the GPU how lucky you get. There were some bad GPU's, good GPU's and great gpu's.
