Highest safe temp on GPU?

[Emultra]

What's the highest safe temperature a GeForce 6600GT should run at?

Under full load may be 85-90C. Not sure.

ive hit 90s with mine....

keep it under 80 for safeness on average load, because if its constantly running 90+ that could be dangerous

lol and I get worried when mine got to 70 for a few minutes the other day, it'd never done that before.

120C

Just crack the egg and drop it on the GPU

I've heard 100C as an official type number, but I wouldn't want to get anywhere near that on a regular basis.
Can I have mine sunny side up Pabster?

It says 127C as the throttle limit, that seems absurdly high to me. I've seen it shoot up to 78C yesterday. I guess GPU's are more robust than CPU's.

Thing is, the fan has started to sound really bad lately.
