    The nVidia Geforce 9300M GS on my Z690 easily goes up to 95 degrees centigrade when playing WOW. I am sure it still has the overheating problem because nVidia just confessed it after denying for a long time the fact that 9000 series still got the problem.

    Recall that the nVidia Geforce Go 7400 on my SZ only reaches 71 degrees centigrade at maximum whatever I do.

    NVidias have not got an overheating problem - they have a heat cycle problem.
    That's different.

    They only overheated immediately before failure.
