    What are normal GPU temps when overclocking?

    I am following the optimization guide. It said 80 degrees in the guide but I believe that was for the CPU not GPU.

    What is normal or "stable"?

    That question doesn't make any sense.

    The maximum temperature on an Nvidia card is around 110 C. In general, as the temperature increases, the lifespan of the GPU decreases. There is no consensus on a "safe" temperature cutoff.

    Stability has to do with the computer itself, not the temperature of the GPU. If the system is artifacting, locking, or crashing, then it's not stable.

    Having a hard time getting it under 94 *C

    I turned the GPU core clock down from 550 to 500hz and it went up to 94*C from 92*C. Grrrr.

    Lithus, no errors are showing up just checking to see what is excessively high.

    What GPU is it? Also what tools are you using to overclock and monitor temps?

    I rarely go above 86C on a twenty minute Furmakr run, with 550/1375/825 clocks
