After a few hours of gaming my CPU and GPU are running around 60 degrees Celsius. Not too hot as I do have a decent case with plenty of cooling. However does ayone know if I should let my components cool down before switching my PC off?

Thanks.

I wouldn't think that would matter much. It's pretty much designed to take the heat, since even my old 6800 GS AGP had a threshold of 120C (thermal trip).

So I'd say no, unless you need to keep your room a lil bit warmer. :lol:
