GPU is really hot
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
So I downloaded MSI afterburner to see how hot my gpu got when playing games. I was surprised that it got up around 100c! I looked around to see how hot it was suppose to get and i hear it shouldn't really go above 80c or so. That's how hot mine is with no games running or anything. With MSI you can change your fan speed though so if i change it to around 70-80% It keeps it in the 90's. I'm just wondering if its really damaging my GPU. Btw I have a ATI radeon 4800 and intel core i7 at 2.67gh. If this is hurting my GPU it isn't bad because my pc is 3 or 4 years old and no real problems.
More about : gpu hot
older radeons as well as gtx cards were plagued with poor cooling and high temps. My 4850 used to be at 80 playing games. Upgrade to. Newer tech and smaller die size the temperature great the power is low and the performance is there..
a small upgrade and a cost effective one would be a 7770

Best solution
Three points:
1) It's POSSIBLE that that temperature is incorrect. I've seen plenty of incorrect temperature values reported with various software.
2) Your graphics cards still works fine. Why do anything? If it dies on you today you can say you got your moneys worth.
3) GPU temperature can go really high in the summer time, especially if the case cooling is also not the best (no front intake fan, for example).

I have cleaned it quite recently so that's not the problem, Not sure about airflow. I'm using the Dell studio XPS 435MT Case so it might not be good. Most likely issue is its just not a good cooling system. I'll probably get a new pc next year sometime, In which case i'll definitely build it myself or use ironside or cyberpc.

Thanks for the link, and here's a little build i'm looking at: http://pcpartpicker.com/ca/p/iE4Q
