School boy error!

So, was playing about with the oc on my xfire 7950's last night, and spent about an hour playing Hitman Absolution afterwards.

Thought to myself hmm my PC is very quiet tonight - turns out I'd left the fans in afterburner set at 25% only. I created a new profile, but accidentally realised I'd left it without 'auto' on!! AHH!

Temperatures:

86c on the bottom card, and
97c on the top card.... SHIIIIIII

Usually I put about 1.25v through the cards on Hitman because I like to have a nice OC going so I can play with max AA and the like and temperatures don't reach over 72-75c - which is actually a bit high anyway for my liking.

Anyone think there's going to be something nasty around the corner for me if I was running the top card especially at such a high temperature for probably 50
minutes?

Thanks...I thought they might have some kind of throttling in place at high temps.

It didn't crash or anything so I'm hoping it's all good

It's not just me then

It does decide to turn auto off at some random points, I normally end up checking on boot up just to make sure my auto profile is set. I definitely will from now on and possibly on a more regular basis, I don't want it doing it again. Hopefully got away with it this time
