What would be a good temperature to stop gaming?

well one way is, touch ur computer.. if its hot.. it needs a rest,
I hate how people use the term "It needs a rest" computers are machines, they don't rest, they cool down. :3
Anyway, depends on the card, but after 60-70C you'd probably need to cool things down, depends on your computer's cooling.
Download Everest home edition (search from google)
And then in the program go to
Computer>Sensors
THere u will see ur GPU (videocard) Temperature
Close all games ur running and then tell what temperature GPU u have
Its normal between 40-50 CELCIUS on IDLE
If its overheating u might try putting a fan blowing towards ur Videocard
Like i did It went from 60 celcius idle to 45 celcius Im waiting for my big fan to
be repaired.

erm..well u can tell if ur graphics card over heats when it looks like it havning a ciggarete out of ur site and puffs of smoke come out every so often lol
happened to mine..i had a video somewhere ..probably got removed from photobucket ..
nah..get a sensor u install on ur graphics card or mobo and it tells ur computers temprature ..saftey levels etc
I had this problem before, just get one of those short fans and put it next to your tower it will cool it down alot you'll be surprised how well this works. oh and take the side case out aswell it works best this way. This is prolly the cheapest way either that or buy a new graphic card or install a cooler
