How hot is too hot for a video card temperature?

I have a Sapphire 5850 Radeon that idles around 37 - 38 c, but it can hit the low 80's c under full load. Is that getting too hot or are they OK under 100 c?|||80 is fine, 90 is high, 100 is too hot.|||That's a little too hot. How are you hitting full load on a 5850? most benchmarks say it hits 73-75c on full load, but that is simulated. I think they might also be overclocked. So, make sure you set your fans to a higher speed, because that could be dangerous. the idle temps are normal, however.|||My Sapphire 3850 idles around 40c. ATI monitor docs say to not push it past 110c.



I'd think at full load, anything under 100c is ok.



I wouldn't want to run @ 100c 24x7 but a few hours a day under 90 shouldn't be a problem.|||if you touch it and you have to pull your hand back because it's too hot, then that's not a good thing. it should just get warm, too hot and things will melt.|||Anything as hot as Megan Fox could kill it.|||Well, u know, it is better if it is 72 C, not more. That means tat your cooling system isn't sufficiently efficient.
