Is 81 degrees Celsius a bad temperature for a GPU to be at?

[Acerblock]

i hope that the part where he said it was 81 C was an error and he really meant 81 F.

Nope, it was serious.

Yes, OP, that is very bad.

Well stuff, thank god I exited out of that program.

[The Resonte!]

even if he did or didn't, he's bit coin mining (lol).

Of course his computer is going to explode unless it has 1000 fans or has a liquid cooling kit composed of liquid hydrogen

use that to cool your device
or just anything cold

[Acerblock]

So, never mine for BitCoins again, right?

[KoopaScooper]

they're

hnng

for a notebook it's not that bad tbh
you're mining bitcoins so clearly it's going to heat up a lot
get a cooling pad or something

[DrJarbot]

OP could boil water/heat it up pretty well with his computer due to the heat.

use your gps as a stove instead of using gas
it's genius

Actually, I read a couple of sources on the internets saying that 81C isn't that bad...

I'm not sure now.

[KoopaScooper]

in all honesty you should only be concerned for the safety of the computer when you're breaching 86 degrees or higher on a notebook

Sure. When you're using a desktop it's bad, but not that bad.

But a Netbook? Jesus.

No no no, a NOTEbook. A bigger version of a laptop.

[Kearn]

No no no, a NOTEbook. A bigger version of a laptop.

its like youre implying that matters at all

its a laptop and the heat is going to radiate through the entire computer (which isnt that big and spacious didnt you know??)

[e-maxx]

most electronics shouldn't go over 90^oC

[Maxx_]

Yes, its 177.8 or so degrees Fahrenheit.

[crunk.com]

don't mine for bitcoins if it gets THAT HOT. that's 170 something fahrenheit. a computer should never be that hot

Dude 81c is nothing. My GPU routinely hit 80c under load, and got as high as 105c before I started seeing fps drops and needed to clean my vents.

How bad a temp is for a GPU is entirely dependent on what the GPU is rated to handle. Laptop GPUs tend to be rated for and handle higher temps than a desktop card, since they're designed with poor cooling in mind.
