    here's a tip for anyone afraid of overheating, get a program called realtemp, its a temperature monitoring program (easily found by googling) the newest version includes gpu temps, and you can set a alarm to go off once the gpu reaches a temperature set by you,
    if u set the temperature alarm to go off when it hits a temp just above your usual max temp, you know to shut down any program that is causing your temp to go to high
