Not necessarily.
If it's below the max threshold at load when OC'd and is still stable, going above 75c is no threat either.

Oh I know. Its just in my experience, if you can keep it under 75C OC'ing benefits.

90C is normal for graphics cards. I would try to not go above that limit.

Why is the safe temp for usage on top of the one for OC'ing? I don't understand that one...
EDIT : NVM. Didn't see the other comments.
So basically, under 90C under any usage.

I should have explained it in the post. You can have OC's hit 85C and be fine.
Keep it under 90C and it lives.

When OC'ing you need to try and keep it colder to help with the OC stability.

Thank you guys! +Rep'd.

Remember to consider VRM temps as well. They run the hottest and should not exceed 100c-110c.

I woulden't go over 100C,I think it would fry it. Try to keep it in the 40C-85C zone.
