I've been playing StarCraft II for some time now and I noticed that my fan started unusually faster for a seemingly not so GPU hungry game, implying it was under heavy load and temperature was rising (know that since I've got the custom FanSpeed curve set up). So I decided to drop a look at MSI Afterburner measurements while playing StarCraft.
There, I found something utterly confusing to me:
GPU core temp was maxing out at 84°C - I figure it's not that big of a problem since it's under 100% load, but the thing that surprised me was GPU Memory Temperature - flatlined at 105°C and the line was yellow (compared to others that were green).
I realise I may have typed more than necessary, but tl;dr version is this:
GPU core temp maxing at 84°C, GPU memory temp was all the way up to 105°C. Is this normal and/or should I be worried? What should I do if that's a problem? Why is there such a big difference between the two?
Also worth noting, it's been overclocked to following values:
Core Clock - 950MHz
Memory Clock - 2100MHz
Voltage - Auto
