What is an Acceptable tempurature for your GPU? Mine just clocked in at 160 degrees. D:

Your talking about 160F right?

Yeah, I should have mentioned that.

Depending on where you're measuring on the GPU, you should be fine. That's still REALLY hot though (71 C I think... need to remember my conversions)
I personally don't let my CPU get that hot, but your GPU might be different. To be honest I'm not an expert on what kind of heat tolerances a GPU may have, but you're definitely shortening the lifetime of the card

Well I took the measurement from the onboard Thermometer, but it was DIRECTLY after a stress test.

Here you will need this to help you get your foot out of the back of your throat, looks llike its in there pretty deep. And what is that on your face? Egg?! *hands Kim a washcloth*

Well what matters is what GPU you have, some GPUs get a bit hotter than that and thats normal.

I have an Overcloacked 8800 Ultra. Now I don't trust the reading because upon startup, it measure 150 degrees.
