I recently purchased a rendering software called Octane. In short, it is a GPU based computer graphics software of pure awesomeness. However, it is really giving my GTX 580 3G card a work out during rendering.
I am seeing temperatures in the ranges of 85 degrees Celsius at 100% load and these renders (animations) are rendering for a long time. The manufacturer says this is actually good for a gtx 580. I figure I'd post here and ask all of you die hard gamers out there. I know it is hot, but is it too hot? Will this damage my card or significantly reduce it's lifespan? Or is it actually well withing tolerances and just fine like the manufactures at maingear said?

when my gtx 550(overclocked) is on 100% load it doesn't even get near as hot as 50 degrees celsius :P
I would say things are starting to smell funny at 95 and above, get some better airflow in your case if you care for your hardwares life. |

Maximum safe operating temperature : ~97 degrees Celsius. Anything below that is just fine. I'd personally try to keep it under 90C for a reasonably long card life, but that's about it.
Above that, thermal throttling starts happening and performance drops. Most cards will eventually shutdown if thermal-based performance throttling is not helping with keeping the temperature under the specified operating temp and instead it keeps increasing over that, so actual burnout should not happen unless the temperature spikes too fast for some reason (defective fan, dislogded heat sink, etc. http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/User:Akita_T Build your own EVE PC http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=1559734 |

Well thx Akita, I have seen some of your past threads regarding building a computer specific for eve online. And I am pretty sure that you know what you are talking about.
Between your word and the manufacturer's, I guess 85 degrees is a decent temp.
