Question about safe GPU temps

[xibxang]

Hi all,

Just wondering what a safe maximum temperature is for a BFG 7800GT GPU (overclocked to 480mhz)? Most of my games seem to peak it at around 55degC, but Oblivion's giving it a good roasting at ~62degC. Just wondering what the safe upward limit would be?

Thanks in advance.

My memory's clocked at 1160. I basically let the driver software find its own optimum clock and that's what it came up with. Many thanks for the replies, guys. I had a hunch that I still had loads to go before worrying but I just wanted to check. Cheers.

Sorry, I forgot to add that I have a Zalman VF700-CU Quiet Copper VGA Cooler fitted to my card. I guess it was worth the extra money. Doesn't half trap the dust though!
