Hot, hot, hot!
How hot can GPUs run? Mine stay anywhere between 80C-110C.

What are you using to read your temperature? That's really hot, if you ask me - mine are about 50 idle, 65 under load. Though, the threshold on mine is 150.

Well I'm looking thru a program called PC Wizard. I tried cleaning my video card, too. I think video cards are meant to run considerably hotter than CPUs -- I researched it a bit. I get great gameplay so it must be okay for the video card.

Which GPU(s)? My X800XL, under load would hit 60C or some over. My X1800XT idles there...it'll hit 90C+ under a load without any problems...

Ok as the above said, which gpu.
The only two programs I trust for gpu reporting is Rivatuner and ATI tool. ATI tool only for those who own ati cards. Depending on which gpu your talking about. Some I would let go as high as 85-90. Others no more then 60.
