Default Folding on a GTX260, is 70C okay to be running at pretty much constantly?
Just wanting to check, pretty sure this card won't have its lifespan reduced by running a lot at 70C, but figured I should ask.

Without folding I get 50C, most games only bring it up to 62C.

Does 70c sound OK to constantly run at?

Thankfully, GPUs can take more heat and abuse than CPUs. So, in other words, it's safe.

Yea, folding is much more stressful than any gaming.
With my GSO's, I was happy if I was below 80°C while folding.

Turn its fan up and make sure your blowing plenty of air into the case if you want it to drop a bit...
