Hello,

It's hot, humid, and poorly ventilated, and I've been running a 3D application for several hours without interruption... As a result, my GPU is reaching 70°C (65°C without 3D activity) on my laptop!

Can such a temperature level cause it to fail or reduce its lifespan?

Thank you.

    no problem 70° is a suitable temperature, no risk for the lifespan beyond 85°
    it burns at over 100° to 110° roughly

    35°^^ lol especially for a gpu and on a laptop
    only high-end radiators on a tower can reach such temperatures
