As I always say, I have a Sapphire HD 4890 New Edition and I was playing a game and since I find the auto fan speed to be pathetic and lets the card idle WAY too high, so I like to manually take over the fan and set it so it idles lower.
BUT today I had set the fan speed to 50, and I forgot to put it up higher when I was playing a game, and the temps went up to 94C without me noticing. And then the game crashed.... Because of the heat... Is this ok??? I know I shouldn't run my card like this all the time but just in case it happens again is it ok? I don't want my graphics card to turn into a paperweight...
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
