With my new MSI GTX 780 I have been running GPU-Z while playing bf4 on high graphics and it can hit up to 80 degrees and levels out around 70 degrees, am i slowly killing my baby or is it normal? (plus the heat pipe gets insanely hot)
Boost 2.0 will throttle the card once it gets to 81C. Unless you manually override boost 2.0's target temp you will not pass 81C. Nvidia has determined that their Boost 2.0 cards can operate under 81C for long durations without risking damage
