Too Hot?

[inverseSquare]

Hi all,


My Powercolor 5770 (using the reference cooler) used to idle at 45C then get to about 65C after 30 mins gaming.

6 months later (and in summer admittedly) I'm seeing roughly similar idle temps, but under load I'm seeing 75C.

Is this too hot?



I'm using the same temp monitor (HWMonitor) and I've checked to see how dusty the case is - a little dust but nothing too bad.

Ambient temps are obviously hotter in the summer but the room temp is roughly the same in both summer and winter (approx 20C).



Any comments appreciated (including 'thats fine, don't be so silly' )


Thanks guys.

That's fine, seriously

Temps are fine

Definetly in safe region. But a blast of compressed air every now and then to clear dust build up wont do any harm
