when using msi kombustor how hot should my gpu get

I dont get this hot in games ever, which I understand is the point of the test, to reach its limits, but I have dealt with older cards, and 90 is pretty hot, and anything higher pretty much a no-no for overclocking. At the point of reaching 90 ish, I stop the program, fearing for the card (This is my only really good computer I have ever purchased, and until someone says its fine, I am going to be cautious). The temperature this thing runs at on stock settings, full load with MSI Kombustor's GPU Burn-in test gets up to +90 degrees Celsius! In the test I am getting about 250 fps avg though, which is a tad ridiculous. The graphics card in this thing is a beast (Radeon HD 7970M), make no mistake, but I was hoping to get a little more umph out of it by doing a bit of overclocking, even if its just a small bit, but I have run into a problem. Actually, its been about 3-4 years maybe? So please keep that in mind.Īnyways, I somewhat recently (January) bought an MSI GX60, thinking it would do me well for school, and the gaming habits I partake in. So, to be completely honest, I haven't overclocked a graphics card in a while.
