I've set up gentoo on my desktop PC. I have a question about what
temperature readings for the Nvidia GPU in question are considered to be
safe. At the moment, the temperature readings for my GPU, as reported by
the XFCE sensors plugin are 73 degrees C.
Here's some info about my current set-up that might be helpful.
lspci -v|grep -i vga
