How hot is too hot for a laptop GPU?

[cocoaTHEhotdog]

My fan half-popped a popcorn kernel next to it. Is that bad for my laptop yo be that warm?

80^oC in CPU, GPU or system temperature.

My GPU's max temp is 105^oC

1370°C (2500°F).

Cooling Pads

Seriously, for $25 there is no reason why you should risk damaging your computer's components.

It wouldn't help anyway because of how the fans are oriented

a 660m
I cleaned out all the dust and stuff from the fans about a month ago
im also not using gpuboost atm, but when I was it didnt seem to make a difference

how the forget can you disable that
i don't recall any way to
I'm pretty sure the 600 series cards have them. Maybe because its a laptop? idk. My 770 gets up to 80 and I looked up why and people just said it was because of gpuboost.

My laptop GPU idles around 54C sitting flat on my bed with poor ventilation. Playing intense games, it usually sits on 69C (hehe) consistently. My old laptop would get around 80C and even 90C without proper ventilation.
80C is probably okayish for a laptop card, but you should try to use it in a way that keeps the bottom end ventilated.

wtf that's horrible ventilation on a laptop.
and is that a "subwoofer"?

OP, you bought a cheap laptop with terrible ventilation. You could either modify it or stop playing games.

My old pc died from overheating. It would overheat constantly.  Like I would open up word and the thing would over heat. I had no way of checking the temp back them  so it would overheat and auto shut down all the time. Once day it stopped working, I would turn it on and it would go as far as the logon screen before auto shutting down. Then it just stoped turning on all together

it probably burned out gg
you should've used compressed air. I've had the same experience with overhearting on my old computer, I didn't clean it out and it sounded like a loving vacume. I have pictures of it now lol, I took it all apart

Nvidia 600 series automatically adjust their clock to the demand of the game you are currently running. You can't really turn this feature off but you can lower their core and memory clock. Also you can set a manual fan speed that it will run at 24/7, of course setting it to run on high all the time will notably lower the life span of the gpu fan and when that baby goes out you better be aware of it quickly.

The program required to do this is made by Nvidia but the name of it escapes me.

On idle on blockland, my computer is at 34c

On TF2, i reach a max of 55c

Nvidia nTune lets you set the max clock speed.
Also MSI afterburner lets you do this, lets you set profile binds, and it comes with Rivatuner which is nice in game.

I forgot top mention the fans faced backwards when I posted the picture, they're super loud at full speed but never seem to reach it while I'm playing
