What are safe operating temperatures for my GPU
Basically I've been reading a lot lately about gpu temperatures, etc. and I'm becoming a bit uneasy as to what I should expect. Some people suggest that the NVidia cards can handle up to 105 C (some even said 125 C unless I'm mistaken), but at the same time these temperatues can damage the other components of the laptop as everything's kinda packed in closely. So what sort of temperatures should I be looking at, and if possible, how can I reduce gpu temperatures (apart from the occasional cleaning/dusting)? I have an XPS M1710 (with a GeForce Go 7950 GTX)

I was curious about mine as well, I have a 1530 with a Nvidia 8600 GPU. I did an internet search on temps and the results said that at a room temperature of 67F (19C) it should idle at 53C and peak temp was 67C. But it also said that most GPU's these days can handle up to 85-90C safely. I am not sure about the certification of this data, but I would like someone to verify it.

There's not much else you can do - other than making sure the laptop is raised off whatever surface you use it on (especially at the back), to allow cooler air under it... or buying a laptop cooler?

Most lap top parts are best kept at 60 degc or below
THIS WILL MAINTAIN A LONG LIFE OF THE PARTS.
harddrives should be max 50 degc and mini of 23deg c
When you get to 70 deg c parts will work but the real killer is heat up and cool down ie 2 hrs gaming then computer off and then back on this thermal expansion damages connections.
A car will rev to 7000 rpm but its better to change up at 4 or 5000 rpm.
Better for the economy and the wear and tear.
All parts when pushed will wear out faster.
