hi,
I picked up an asus HD7750 (very impressed with it, apparently one of the most efficient gpu's out there and doesn't require external power other than from the PCIe slot.

and i've basically two questions. It is for a htpc, so no need to tell me it's not 'powerful' btw
. I installed the latest driver and then something called asus gpu tweak.
Question uno, according to asus gpu tweak it idles at around 27c, and after furmark stressing it, it climbed towards about 45c. Is that safe? The system does have a large 230mm fan blowing towards the card, but i gernally keep the fan on very low so that the system is near silent. Ideally i'd like to just let the card get a bit hot rather than always keep ventillated.
Secondly, this is my first amd card, is it necessary to even install asus gpu tweak if i'm not going to overclock it at all? I'd rather just install the driver and forget about it, but maybe asus gpu tweak serves some other purposes? Thanks.
