Max Full-load time?

[Skurlo]

Just out of interest...

I have just purchased a 'Titan Xenomorph' Pre-built system from overclockers and was wondering with the cpu overclock and HD5770, what sort of time can I play games maxxed for before components will be getting hot... and potentially overheating.

Appreciate any advice.

Antec 300 case has gpu fans I think?

A stable system should run indefinitley with no issues, even at full load.

The heat doesn't continue to accumulate over time - that is what your exhaust fans are for. The electronics will heat up to their operating temperature within a few seconds at full load, after this temps should be pretty much constant.

Many people (including myself) run full systems including multiple overclocked GPUs 24/7 at much higer loads than any game will generate, nothing should overheat!

as long as you have exhast fans at the side or back of your pc you should be fine

I ran a 4670 overclocked at 100% load for a month, 24 hours a day. Its still trucking. You'll be fine OP.

Just don't look at the char mark on the wall

hoping that someone would say the same with an overclocked GTX 480
