    Visit NBR Cooling central for more info

    Generally, you shouldnt exceed 85c after prolonged gaming

    Download HWMonitor and let it run on the background, after you play games it will show the max temps reached for your GPU, CPU and HDD

    If you have Rivatuner, you might be able to set an warning from there.
