    116F is only ~47c which isnt overheating for the GPU

    I would get a cooling pad, you may fry the graphics card, or gpu if it goes to high

    It would help fi you can tell what GFX card you have... they all run at different speeds and high end GPU's are always hotter than CPU's...

    Oh my gosh...your card runs like ICE. MY GPU hits like 180 degrees Fahrenheit under load. Don't you dare call 113 overheating!

    Sorry for the mistake. after playing call of duty 2 the temp is 54C but after a minitue its goes down to 46C again.

    (i rechecked the temps because it didnt seem right.)

    Its better if you use Celsius rather than Fahrenheit because it is better know and understood for checking hardware temps.

    Your GPU temp is fine.
