Too hot for my HD4870s?

[phreak532]

I have manual override for the fan speeds on my HD4870s. I played crysis for about 20 minutes and forgot to turn up the speed. When I checked the temperature it was 95C. I immediately put both on 100% and they are back to normal temps. Does anybody think this will cause any noticeable damage?

No it'll be fine. Even when the card gets too hot, it will switch itself off or the game will crash etc before the card comes to harm.

Awesome. Thanks!

Just for future reference, those cards are good for 100+C. In the heat of summer, I once had my 4850 go to 110C! I soon after replaced to cooler which brought themps down to 40-60C, but that card is still doing great (and it was one of the original 4850s, so it is old). I wouldn't recommend running it at 100+C for long, but if you accidentally hit it the card should be fine.
