I was playing Colin Mcrae 2005 tonight and my temperature spiked up to 85C!!!!

What's the max temp I should keep it at? My clocks are 360/780

I've never seen mine go over 70 degrees - however, the nvidia-set temp to throttle the GPU is 95 degrees, so I assume that anything below is deemed by them to be safe.

I'd be looking for a possible build-up of dust on your GPU heatsink grills, and give them a blow-out. It's surprising how quickly dust builds up in these suckers.
