Normal operating tempatures for video cards
I was curious what are the normal operating temperatures for Guild Wars? Lately with all the lockups I have been experiencing I tend to check on the temperature once in awhile to see how hot is. It ranges from 60 C - 67 C? Is that normal or is that considered overheating? But when I just browse through the net and forums the temperature was reading at 51 C?

The ambient air temp in my PC usually stays at around 30-31 C. I have a CoolerMaster CoolDrive4 LCD temperature monitor installed in my PC. As for the video card temp, I couldn't tell ya offhand, but it will vary between different chip models. I'm running a BFG 6800Ultra (HUGE heat sink).

I have a ATI Radeon 9600 Mobility video card in my laptop. During normal use it's around 40-50C, and when playing Guild Wars it's 80-90C. Seems quite high, but the card's specifications say that it can run safely to 125C !

I have an older ATi Mobility Radeon 7500, and my entire laptop runs at around 67 celsius while playing games. Around 48 degrees idle.

Would have been nice if you included what type of video card you have.
