Hello so i have just recently bought a new laptop with the following specs

Processor : Intel Core i7-4700HQ CPU @ 2.40 GHz
Graphics : Nvida Geforce GTX 870M
R AM : 24GB <-- ram was free don say overkill :no:
OS : Windows 8.1

So i know NOTHING about overclocking or temperatures , but i know how to check the temperatures and such.

So my question is is around 70-90 Degrees a good temperature for my Graphics card to have when i game? How about a good cpu temperature for this cpu too?

Thanks in advance! :lol:

Solution
Don't overclock your components on laptop that much. Safe temps for GPU are 90C. Keep an eye on your GPU's temps while under load/stress.

While under load, your graphics card should be around 70-80 degrees

@_Epix_ I did notice that when i did not run my gpu fan at full speed, or in fact overclocked while playing at all the temperature was around maxed at 90 But constant at 79-90

However if i overclocked it and ran my gpu fan at full speed, it was around 69-81 did not hit 90 at all.

Is this safe?
