Need to know how hot is to hot for my video card? I want to OC more but I dont know how hot I should let it go to? When I do OC i use DNA drivers and ATItool and I watch the temps and they go up to around 60*c, is that to high or meh not really?...When I am done ocing i lock it at 560/607 and it drops to around 45*c- 50*c and runs good no glitches. I just want to know how hot is to hot and if I am runnning now to hot?

Oh and in games it is around 55*c... I maybe just a scared little ocer but.... :confused:
 
In my opinion anything above 70c is too hot to OC and anything around 60c is risky. I like my card at 50c load and 30c Idle. Hard to get it like that though... :(

really you think so, like tell me how and what i need to do, like should i lower the ram and oc the core more or or or... "i need your help" thx
 
I find anything above 70C starts producing graphics glitches on screen. My normal temperature running games with X850 XT at 540 / 590 is 65C, so if yours is only 55C, you're doing well.
 
Ever looked into custom cooling? if your on air.. i highly reccomend the ati silencer!
