sancco :
If I let my 7970 reach 75 degrees celcius (according to MSI Afterburner), is that ok? If it is, is that heat an issue for the motherbaord or the nearby sound card? it's an expensive sound card i dont want to damage it
Thanks for help
75 isnt too hot for a gpu, they can reach 80+ celsius. And no it wont damage your sound card or mobo at all.
Note:
When my 7950 reached around 75 celsius it would drastically just shut off the pc. It is now dead and the pc wontboot with it connected. It is on its way to be RMA'ed.
Just wanted to put it here.
