About the GPU's temperature... What would be the top temperature in Celsius, that these video cards can work at without suffering damage?

normally: Idle: 50-55 load: 70-80 If you see more than 90, the video card should have a problem in it's fan.

I believe you can remove it but I wouldn't recomend it. There is nothing worse the an overheating GPU. You would probably experiance some preformance loss and you might damage the card.

I own the A10-5700 and it cools the APU pretty good. I have not looked at the temps in a while, but I believe it was the high 40s C° when streaming.

Its a pretty solid laptop, and some games you're not gonna run at full resolution like Crysis, BF3, and other infamous intensive games but they still run well. I haven 't had heat issues and once I got the Video drivers sorted out the card overclocks really well as well (which most people don't recommend but my card is overclocked significantly and stays around 70c) For the games you've mentioned though it's plenty. The overall package is pretty awesome and as a pc gamer I'm pretty happy, but at the end of the day its still a laptop.

The SuperClock also has a copper core heatsink that can decrease GPU temperature up to 5 celsius.

Gigabyte GPU cards have a horrible cooling system, they last less and they are super big and bulky, never buy any gigabyte card.the Sapphire and MSI have the best cooling, tho Sapphire is abit bigger.

It helps if you're doing any significant overclocking. I run mine at 1.1GHz and some high voltage level that I don't remember offhand, and without heatsinks I couldn't do that with stability. Even at lower clock speeds, the 10-20 celsius difference can make you "feel" better, although I don't know how much of a realistic difference it will make in terms of functionality and useful lifetime.

Yes, it works fantastic. I OC mine to 4.5 and it runs like a beast! It works great at stock 3.5 too. Because I'm running SLI, it can't run anywhere from 73-78 degree at long game play in Elder Scrolls Skyrim, but other than that, it's golden. I'm currently in the middle of changing over to liquid cooing on both cards and CPU. Once completed I'll post some readings. In all , I think this is still the best adv consumer GPU out there; I just wish it were 4gb rather 3 but that's just me being greedy :). Hope this helps some.

Yes it sure can, you can read about it herehttp://www.pcworld.com/article/2042937/nvidias-new-geforce-gtx-760-attacks-the-mid-range-at-250.html

I thought of that as well; but I used it as a desk top replacement in an environment where the temperature never dipped below 75 degrees. I believe either the video card blew...or the connections from the LCD to the computer itself became loose in some way. Anyway its academic I sent it back for a replacement and its on its way and will arrive on February 2nd.

I've been using mine since the 680 first came out and I haven't had a single issue. It helps if you create a custom fan profile within EVGA Precision X in order to ramp the fans up higher and keep the card cooler. I've had it overclocked since I bought it and haven't had any artifacts or crashes, well no crashes because of the overclock. My advice to you would be to wait for the new 700 Nvidia cards to come out in the next couple months and buy one of those instead depending on the price.

Supported card from Cooler Master's site:NVIDIA GeForce8800GTS 512MB (G92 Ver.),8800GT,8600 series, 8500 series,7600 series, 7300 seriesATI RadeonHD3870, HD3850,HD2900, HD2600, HD2400,X1950, X1900,X1800,X1650,X1650 Pro,X1550I'm using it with Radeon HD 6570 that is power consumption is rated at 50 watts. It keeps it cool and quiet.NVIDIA GTX 570 is rated at 219 watts, so i guess it needs a much more massive cooling than this one can achieve.

I use MSI Afterburner to monitor GPU temp. Have found that the GT630 rarely goes above 45 degrees(C) in average continuous use. I run typical business/productivity apps, flash videos, streaming, BD movies, etc. No gaming or heavy video editing. Hope this helps.

No problems with over heating. I've been playing a couple games (dirt 3 maxed, skyrim medium - high, borderlands high, assassins creed 3 medium high) all with little to no lag. And I've seen 65*C on rare occasions after a couple hours . Idk about it overclocking or how it works. Hope this helps

Actually the aluminum of the cooler that you have to attach to the card is at back side of it.An you lost 1 slot previous a your video card slot, by other hand please note that you video card have a lot surface in contact to the actual cooler at the front of the card you will lost all that contact for it. In my case I'm running world of warcraft at maximums resolution and my card are 127.40º F and before the cooler was 154.40º

AMD/ATI driver and configuration utilities for this GPU allow main CPU "over-clocking" (in my case it's an AMD Phenom II X6 1090T). It easily increases the core(s) clock speed to 3700 Mhz. The average temperature of the 6 cores is now 48 Celsius (118 F [Imperial]). I'm monitoring this using Pririform Speccy. Just after increasing the clock speed I saw higher temperatures, still in within acceptable limits. I'm wondering about what factors from one day to the next affect these readings; changes in the atmosphere have an influence? ...I enjoy the graphics performance of the GPU and added an HDMI, 1080p-capable flat-screen monitor.

You could always add extra fans in your case to help with airflow, but this card was designed for high heat, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Something I do to keep the temp down under heavy load is run MSI Afterburner and set a custom "Fan Speed Curve". The fan will get pretty loud but my card usually stays around 70 C and runs smooth as butter.
