Unlocked 465 Temps

Bought a PNY 465 and unlocked it to a 470 with stock clocks. I ran the F@h client on it for a couple minutes and noticed my temps were ~93c. This seemed a bit high for me so i shut it down. I've heard Fermis run hot but before I run F@H on it for extended periods of time I wanted to check up and make sure these temps are safe for the card?

I also have one of these black PCB PNY GTX465's with the 10 memory chips unlocked as well. I also see temps jump quite high when gaming. Sometimes reaching a bit over the 100C mark!!!

yeah you got one reason to replace the cooler
or you could try lapping the hsf and use better thermal paste and see how it works

lapping might net him 2 or 3 c but replacing the cooler is a better option

yep, lapping is the cheapest and easiest way
but if the stock fan could be replaced with better fan its much better
