    74C was my highest temp during hard game play... good sign?

    Is that temp too high or just right?


    I did it three times..... 74c was the max temp during all three trials... Good?

    Depends on what you were playing and what component 74C was.

    If 74C was your GPU temp, that is fine, nothing to worry about.

    80-85C on the GPU (at full load) is quite normal, if you're running cooler then there is nothing to worry about.

    That`s a great temp actually.
    Anything under 80C for the GPU is great :)
