    If so run, run HWMonitor and tell me what the temperatures are after you play for a while.

    Even at stock GPU clocks I hit over 100C. Overclocked to 600/850/1500 I hit 105C, and OC'd to the clocks in my sig the DOX driver stops in order to prevent GPU damage. I'm running the game completely maxed and 1366x768, no AA. I think the optimization for the game is horrible -- it's just barely better than Shadow of Chernobyl (which I thought was barely playable).

    Those temperatures are way too high, since maxed Crysis only gets me up to around 95C, and FurCube gets me to 97C. Any ideas?

    When was the last time you tried furmark or crysis? You could have a bit of dust in your fan, and also what was your ambient temperature?

    I had a G51vx that always hit 102°C regardless of what I did, and my current G51 never reaches 100 during gaming. You are also running quite high clocks for your GPU.

    Ambient temperature is around 74F. It's not dust in the fans, I clean them monthly.

    Last time I ran FurMark... probably four months ago? This is the only game the temperatures get that high in. I had temperatures in the 90s with Bioshock 2 and Borderlands.
