    Hey guys! My GPU idles around 70 - 75 degrees Celsius. After gaming, my GPU reaches a max of 103 degrees Celsius. I believe I have a defective Nvidia 8600 GT graphics card.

    What are some ways to check to see if I do indeed have a defective graphics card? And if I do, what are the steps to getting a replacement from Dell?

    Thanks!
