Maximum gpu temperature

Forum Overclocking : General Discussion Maximum gpu temperature

Hey, my GPU temperature (according to "speedfan" ), is 232 degrees Celcius. Upon starting up my laptop, the initial temperature is around 70 C, however when watching a video from megavideo or any other streaming website, it goes up to 232 C, this is not normal is it :S

Try Gpu-z and hwmonitor, both free programs, see what they say, but no, 232' is both a wrong report there and insane even if it were true

Yeah your laptop would be in flames at 232C, just an incorrect reading. As Moto suggested try GPU-Z or HWMonitor.

As both above have stated, 232 has to be wrong.

For reference, the boiling point of water is 100C

The flash ignition point of paper is between 232C and 233C. If your GPU was that hot, you could set a piece of paper on it and it would ignite!

Nothing to add besides that Use a different program to find your correct temp
