In the theory of plate tectonics, the earth's crust is broken into plates that move around relative to each other. As a result of this movement, three types of plate boundaries are formed: divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries.
Graphics card temperatures typically range from 30c to 40c at idle and from 60c to 85c under load. Most high end video cards typically have a maximum temperature between 95c 105C, at which point the system will shut off to prevent damage. A video card is not considered to be overheating until it exceeds 90c under load. At this point, artifacting may start to occur up to the point of thermal shutdown.
I was concerned when I was reading that that is a dangerous temp, so I took my CPU and heatsink out to reapply thermal paste, and found that the latches on my heatsink were broken. I ordered a new one and the temperature now is still 45c-50c while idle, but while gaming it is now running at around 65c-72c. I read on multiple forums that 80-85 is the max for most CPUs, while other forums suggest that they can run up to 90c-95c and still work fine. I'm just not sure what or who to believe...
