    I decided that i was going to OC my gpu (gtx 675m) so i ran it through kombuster, to see where the temperature would be at under full load. At about 5mins in, i capped out at about 88°C.

    This is my first time doing an OC, but i have done quite a bit of research. This brings me to my first concern, shouldnt it be lower? and isnt anything above 90° kinda high?

    If my temps underload are that high already, it seems that either my thermal paste is faulty, or the cooling is bad, either way, i dont think its a good platform for overclocking...

    Can anyone verify their stock clock temps at full load for me please, thanks

    Kombustor will fry your GPU. below 90 C is safe, although I wouldn't keep OCing. You'll probably get lower temperatures during regular gaming and use than in Kombustor/Furmark.
