What is the max temp on full load that this graphics card can handle? Idle I have 35-40C, but at max I have 55-60C with a 35-40% manual fan speed. Is this safe and should I worry? It's been running like this for 4 years playing everything from Skyrim, to Batman Arkham City, always on full load. I just wanted to make sure that I don't burn it out. Thank you, :) .

Those are good temps. My 7950 hits 80 + & has gone higher.

Thats more than safe, actually it is quite low. That temperature range is good for a 6950.

AlanWakeFan and Snipergod87, that's exactly what I wanted to hear, :D . Thanks so much for the input. You don't know how relived I am to know that it's not really being as stressed as I thought it was. Do you think the fan speed at 35-40% is good or should I up that? I don't want to burn the fans out, if anything. I think my CPU is around 45-51C as well. Is that cool enough for my CPU?

My CPU is an AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition Thuban 6-Core 3.3GHz, 3.7GHz Turbo.

I have NOTHING OCed b/c I never saw the need for it, as all of my games run fine on High/Ultra settings/load.

Thank again, guys! Made my whole day a lot better!

Those are good fan speeds. If the temps happen to go up the fans will ramp higher to compensate.

Thanks again, AlanWakeFan. I'm just concerned about burning out the fans, but if you said they're good, then I trust that, :D . I guess I should leave the fan speed on automatic for the GPU, huh? I have it set to manual 35-40%, keeping the card at 55-60, max.

If everything is staying 55-60 Max, I would leave the settings where they are. Those are very good temps.
