    I have seen quite a lot of threads requesting CPU temperatures. I would like the community members to please post their gpu specs and temps under light, moderate and heavy load if possible. Thank you.

    My GPU never gets below 60 degrees. Is that too hot? It's just idling.

    My CPU is usually between 50-60s. GPU idle is 67ish, then gaming is 78ish, usually underclocked because I only play CS. When it gets up there up into the 80's.

    My GPU temperature reading reads 58 C with 0 programs open. It is about 62-63 with normal browsing, listening to music etcetera. It showed me 101 degrees celcius while playing NFS Pro Street the day before yesterday! I know that is hot, really hot. Is there a way to underclock the GPU?

    That is fairly hot. I believe the gpus have a good tolerance, but that is odd. My drivers just are always underclocked unless the game/video demands more, this i find both a blessing and a curse. If you go with the laptopvideo2go drivers and a modded inf you will get the same, maybe even lower temps when idle.
