    Yeah, its normal tempatures!

    ... As long you don't see a performance change when it gets more hot (Many GPU's downclocks itself at a specific temperature)

    overclocking this gpu is not something u wanna be doing these gpu's are very well known to overheat or to fail even while not being overclocked just playing games for a long period of time can damage the gpu....so be careful overclocking can damage your comp.

    Ok, I use the new rule and put the fan in 100% at 72C. I wonder if this is normal or not because my computer have 8 months with me and this temps are normal ( I was playing a lot) and nothing bad occur. I see that when the temp goes to 100C the clock speed down so the GPU (with computer DIY cooling pad) down it temp to 88C in only 3 seconds.
