A new cleaner is being trained.

I don't think either of them is aware that I'm here now. I came in through the garage, slammed the doors so I didn't scare them, and still ended up in my room apparently without their knowledge.

If you can, running a GPU and CPU test at the same time is a good temperature testing.

That's a good idea. Never tried that. However I look at temp/stress tests more as stability than real thermal tests. If your CPU or graphics card doesn't freeze up after 24-48 hours of Prime95, OCCT, or Furmark it's likely going to be 24/7 stable for most purposes. You aren't likely to see these temps again under any normal usage. Unless you use your graphics card and CPU for distributed computing and the like.

Chain rule... another formula to memorize.

Pain to memorize, but the only real skill involved is partial differentiation.

Chain rule is the only "rule" they should teach for differentiation. All the others are just specific cases of it.

Yeah GPU temps in the high 80s is ok during tress tests. Even in the 90s it's okay but it should only reach that under the very worst of stress. CPU temps shouldn't go higher than about 70 or so. My 970 runs in the high 60s after several hours of Prime 95 which is a little hot but not too bad.

Admittedly, I haven't done that in years, since the CPU is on water, I really don't give a damn about temperatures.

Gpu on the top card is hitting 65 the lower 58
CPU is running at 68

If this proves to be stable I'm happy.

GPU 909 mhz
CPU 4.5 Ghz

Yeah those are good numbers. What are you using as a stress test? I like Prime95 and OCCT. For the GPU Furmark.
