Acceptable 5770 Temps?

[bnot]

So I have a Sapphire Vapor-x 5770 and I'm just wondering what is a safe margin for it to run at. The GPU idles from anywhere to 35-42 centigrade but when playing games it skyrockets up to around 60 centigrade, is this a safe temp for it to be at? Since I'm gaming it will be at this temperature and possibly higher for some time.

Safe temperature range for a GPU is up to 100C, 60C is nice and cool.

I would be worried if you started to push 90c. At that point you start to have a meltdowns on some of the components.

wow, 60'C is cool, don't worry about that...

For a 5770 series 43-45c is ideal at idle

GPU's handle much higher temperatures than your CPU can handle.

Generally @ Load a GPU can run anywhere from 60C to 75C and be perfectly fine. Higher than that and it probably doesn't have the most adequate cooling/ventilation. (Although I've heard of 80's with some hot cards, i.e. GTX 480)

With a CPU however, most of them should NEVER be operated @ or above 70-72C.

Different components handle different temperatures. CPUs you want very cool. GPU's can handle quite a bit. Your temps are perfectly fine.

my asus cucore 5770 gets to 98ºC after 11mn's using OCCT stress test, with vcore reduced from 1.2 to 1.087, stock speed...

Before I start using IC diamond, when playing COD.MWF 2 it used to reach 92.5ºC, now it goes up to 80ºC. So 60ºC is more than perfect.

btw, how do you check your temps bnot? Make sure you use a program that tells you the highest temp even at idle.
