Is 66 degrees celsius a safe temperature for a graphics card, specifically a 9800GT?
I was playing TF2 (Jcink's server ftw), and all of a sudden my TF2 froze and the image went blank. I alt tabbed and found a little notification in the corner: "Display Driver nvlddmkm has stopped working and has fully recovered." I quickly opened up EVGA Precision and found my graphics temperature at 66 Celsius climbing down. I know nvlddmkm is the main driver file for Nvidia cards, and I've seen this happen before, but is my graphics overheating or is it just overworked?

oh dear god I hoped I was the only one
It'll start doing that a lot on certain things. It started in Wow, then moved onto Blockland, and now it does it on Minecraft. Freakin minecraft. :(
EVGA has great phone suppost, so if your bored call them up and ask. Then tell me. I've got the exact game graphics card.
Oh an 66 is a lot, but I wouldn't worrty. I'd start to worry at whatever C is at 200f. (66 is like 150f if I'm not mistaken) Mine's idling at 140f (like 60c) right now. but I got a ton of stuff up (blender, songbird, firefox, exc)
General Nick:
I'll call em tomorrow. I highly doubt anyone is there right now at 12 AM.
Lol i should try anyway.

Definatly not. It shouldn't be over 55 like ever. Google 'speedfan' and download that, it will allow you to overclock the fan.
n0cturni:
CPU stays under 60C, GPU stays under 70C.
A little above 70C for the GPU is okay, but you should still be cautioned.
