Hi all, I'm running an EVGA GTX 770 Superclocked GPU (The black blower cooler not ACX).
I was monitoring temps and it seems like the card purposefully tries to get to 79c and stay there.
I downloaded EVGA Precision and the default setting was also target temp of 79c. It seems like GPU boost is overclocking the GPU till the card hits 79c.
My questions are:
1. Is 79-80c safe? Will this hurt my cards lifespan?
2. Is there anything I can do to keep GPU Boost from overclocking into the 1200mhz range? I'm getting more than 60 FPS so i'm hoping this isn't killing my card by overclocking it so high when my FPS is plenty high to not even need clock speed so high.
Any help greatly appreciated.
