Nvidia gpu's should never go over 90c but can handle around 110c-120c
if your gpu has artifacts @ 68c then your card is faulty period. 68 is low for a gpu in the 8 series.
use this and crank your fan speed up if worried about temps

Try taking your CPU back to stock then play dolphin and see if it BSOD's. Dolphin is more cpu intense than a pc game.
I m sure this Q6600 is reponsible ^^ They are great ocer but go Hot Hot!!!
I used to have a decent Zalman cooler , couldnt get higher than 3.0 Ghz! Just bought a new case and some Noctua Cooler , and now life is good (CPU never goes higher than 50°C after 6 hours of Crysis @ 3.6 Ghz )

I would think a card hitting 100C should probably be taken out before it melts the PCI-EX slot off your motherboard... At that kind of temperature, you're looking at (much) cheaper solder melting right off the circuits. (Melting point of solder: 90 to 450°C, common is 180 to 190°C,
[ref] but still...)
Not once did I say I had an 8-series. Besides, my 9800GT has never topped 75C, and that's in stress testing.
*lol*...all you guys are saying is nice and well, but you totally missed what I was asking/saying...
Let me state it more clearly: Imagine 1000 games and 100 revs of Dolphin working without any problem. Then ONE rev of Dolphin (and the ones then following) produce a BSOD...now why would that have to do with any temperatures?? (especially when going back one rev before the big changes will still not produce the BSOD)...
My point is, this clearly has nothing to do with my temps but with some changes in the code...what exactly I don't know...that's why I'm talking about it here
Please don't feel offensed, but I think you get my meaning
Get an older build then ...
Well, yeah, ok. I didn't nag or anything...just reporting a rather critical new issue in a new rev, that's all *shrug*
