I posted a while back that my GPU is idling at 56 ~ 64 degrees celcius...and I hit around 85 at max load ... nVidia claims the GPU can run at 105 c and still stable, they didnt realy specify the limit when damage starts to happen...in comparison the CPU's limit is at 100 c but I get 34 ~ 41 degrees celcius on idle...
I was going around nVidia's forums and I found that nVidia's drivers dont downclock to 2D mode speed when on 120hz refresh, it stays on 3D mode speed ... and its not a bug or issue...
taking it to 60hz my GPU idles at 45 ~ 52 degrees celsius (same when its running on battery) but you wont be able to use Stereoscopic 3D...
Now Im curious if high refresh rates degrade performance on games?
