I've just been throught the process of overclocking my cpu. Found a reasonable speed so thought I'd see how it effects my game speed. Just exited a game and saw my 7800GTX was running at 92C.
I took it out and blew out the dust but there wasn't really much there. It's not a problem with the heat inside the case as thats ok. It was overclocked to 441/1300 so I reduced it back to 400/1200 but its still up in the low 90's. It's at 65C odd idle.
Have I borked it up somehow??
I had just convinced myself not to upgrade my gfx as I'm only gonna need this computer for 6 months ish before I'll be going away for a year so when I return all this tech will be seriously outdated, but this is seriously making me reconsider....
What do you think?
