Hi, GPUGrid Folks:

Does this error mean my 660Ti is running too hot at 66 - 67 degrees C?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I meant the temperature of the GPU was 76 - 77 deg C.....

Does this error mean my 660Ti is running too hot at 76 - 77 degrees C?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Your GPU is probably a factory overclocked card, which can't take that much overclocking.
There are two possible methods to fix it:
The more safe is to reduce its clocks by 20 MHz decrements until it gets stable. It will reduce the card's temperature.
The other metod (to maintain its speed) is to increase the GPU voltage by 12-25mV. It will increase the card's temperature.

The temperature is fine as I have A GTX660ti which sometimes/often goes into the 80'c with no problem.

Your problem as Retvari says is OC'ing whether by factory or yourself.

Thank you Retvari Zoltan and Betting Slip
