Overclock Temperatures Too High?

I've recently overclocked my GTX 660M on my G55VW-DS71 with +135/+500 and when I run 3DMark Vantage, I get max temperatures around 77 °C. Is this normal?

Those temps are fine and well within the normal range.

Ah, are you 100% sure? I'm a bit paranoid since I've read somewhere on this forum to keep it away from 80°C.

Yea, you are nowhere near thermal shutdown, not at a gpu throttling point, and low enough that you won't be significantly harming other components. I wouldn't even bother with a respaste (did one on the 660m in my G46 and max temps went from ~83 to ~79).

Point being, yeah, those temps are normal. If you really want them lower, lose the oc or try repasting and replacing the fans. Personally, looks good to me as is.

Thank you so much for your help.
