Overheating

[NotAGolf]

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this computer for 6 months ish before I'll be going away for a year so when I return all this tech will be seriously outdated, but this is seriously making me reconsider....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?

Well the theshold hold limit in the control panel is 115C, but when it goes above 90 it goes into the 'red zone' on the temperature scale, so I dont think 90's is really a safe temperature
