what happens when you use an intensive OpenGL app? XBMC in windowed mode is a good place to start, since you can minimize it and watch your heat, or rather anything using windowed mode+OpenGL at any larger scale. you can watch your heat with this (it's what I have in conky lol):
nvidia-settings -query GPUCoreTemp | grep Attribute | grep -o '[0-9]\{2,3\}'
after a minute or so I'm up to 90+°C and after a few minutes I end up over 100°C
I'm using XBMC in windowed/maximized mode and a desktop resolution of 1920×1080@60Hz with DynaimcTwinView disabled (I use grandr to resize, with DynamicTwinView enabled, XBMC fails to get an output list and I end up with massive stutters)
