    Hello everyone! So, I received my new notebook yesterday, and I've been tweaking it trying to get the best settings for my personal use...been running 3dMark06....downloaded a few different temp monitors, and CPU has been absolutely fine (under or at about 60 C at load)...

    I wondering how high the nVidia GTX 260M temps can safely get.....ha ha, I could sound like a complete noob and say "so, my temps got to 110 C, is that bad?"....but mine aren't that bad, however, the 3dMark06 score in my sig was reached with a slightly overclocked GPU but reaching temps of 76C...also, my mobo/case (not 100% sure which) has tended to also mirror the GPU temps but a few degrees below...

    So I guess my question is, how hot should a nVidia GTX 260M run? How hot should it not?

    I also ran the 3dMark06 with the laptop on a table, and then on my lap, and (I do believe because I did not "obscure the vent") I noticed the temps a fair bit less when running on my lap....hmmmm, a laptop on the lap...interesting concept... ;)

    Thanks for any answers in advance :)

    PS, tried the "recommended" GeForce Release 185 for Notebooks, but it messed with my computer settings a fair amount, so I rolled it back and I don't recommend it....the drivers started with a 6, where the original drivers started with a 7.


    **PPS** Ha ha, there are MANY resources here I should have looked into before posting this....here are but a couple of interest to those who may be running hot:
