Graphics card normal temp
My graphics card runs at 64 degrees (read using FanGUI), with or without overclocking. Both fans are at max (whether it's BIOS controlled or app controlled).
Anyway, above 60 seems like a pretty "dangerous" temperature. Is this the temperature everyone else is getting (note, you're playing a game ofcourse!)

First of all, what setup are you using, an most importantly what GPU? Are you measuring in Celcius or Farenheit?
Different cards will run at different temps. For example, my GF4 4200go in the setup you see in my sig, will have a temperature after heavy gaming of about 55-60 degrees celcius or so. This is fairly normal, and from the temp of yours seems ok. The FX5650 runs hotter than that I believe as well.
So really, to tell you we first need to know what you are using.

I just read my own post again and realised I had forgot the information. Thankyou for pointing it out to me!
All the other details shouldn't matter that much.
But yeh, if people are getting ~60 deg C then suppose an extra 5 to 6 degrees should be safe. Just to repeat, my temperature plateaus at around 65. Anymore and I'll definitely be worried. Even with headphones the two max fans are an annoying background but hey, I don't want to damage the system and end up not playing at all!
In normal Windows and normal apps it hangs around 55 deg C.
