    That is totally safe.  It's really the load temperatures that matter anyway.

      Thanks for the reply, your the coolest helper on this site. Now when I play COD mw3 it runs at 49c is that ok?

      Yeah, 49c is a very good temp for a video card.

      Anything 80C or less for that video card is good, just to specify the absolute max that the video card should ever run at. Info online suggests 85C to 95C, but its best to keep it below this. Unless you have an airflow issue in the computer case or are running this in a hot room, the temps should never really climb above 65C
