    Everest is more reliable IMO.

    As for temps...

    Min - 58c
    Max - 75c
    Average - around 65-68c

    Under load while gaming you may see temps go up to 80-85c. Shoulnt really go higher then that.

    If you are seeig the above temps, your fine.

    Magnus has the GPUs really OCed and he said it maxes out at 82C, and idles around ~65ish.

    are you controlling the fans ?
    cause my fans won't kick in while idle, so the cards get to 69-71 celcius.
    while gaming the fans kick in of course, and the cards steady around 80 degrees with peaks around 83.

    To those experiencing temps over 80C, I really must sugest a fan cleanup.
    It did a world of a difference in max temps for me.
    Also, raise the back a little, at least 2 inches, and make sure not to have any fabric under it, cause that builds up heat also.

    Gta IV maxed out at 86C before the fan cleanup, now at 70C :D
