[QUOTE="Lord Nemesis, post: 1043101, member: 632"] Well the problem is that nVidia themselves claim the max temp of the GPU as 105 deg which probably means that they regard anything above that to be really unhealthy for the GPU. 97 deg (despite the insane cooling solution) is cutting it too close to that mark and that too remember those temps were logged in US and Europe where the ambient temps are relatively lesser than in a country like ours. Futher I noticed that with most of the high end GPU, when dust settles into the HSF/Fan, the temperatures can drastically rise by 10 to 15 deg. So unless you keep cleaning the HSF on the card every 2~3 weeks, the temps can go insanely high. [/QUOTE]
