Got worried when I saw pics of cards melted from the stress test. I don't trust myself to run it correctly with that much at stake

GPU stress tests show temp values and many have shutoff points u can set. If you were worried that your temp readings are inaccurate you could just feel the air blowing out of the card. do you have an OC with increased voltage? How old is the card? have you taken the cooler off or made any modifications?

I didn't run the stress test very long. About 30 seconds into the stress test my CPU was hitting 85 degrees Celsius. Apparently the stress test I downloaded doesn't test the GPU or I didn't let the test get that far. I read that if the CPU starts creeping north of 70 to shut it off. I expected a stress test to kick the shite out of my cooling system since it's just stock fans in a mid tower, but damn. Looks like I'll be investing in a full tower and some heatsink fans.
