I usually change my desktop wallpaper with a new F1 picture after each F1 race. Since the Pirelli tests I've forgotten to go looking for anything else.
The wallpaper on my laptop is an Alfa 8C but I don't have access to that at the moment.
Depends on the graphics card and manufacturer. My XFX ATI HD 4890 idles at about 60ºC (140ºF) and go as high as 87ºC (188.6ºF) under full load
It actually reached about 100ºC (212ºF) once when the fan failed. Luckily I noticed it happened and turned the PC off. Also, in the manual it says only when it reaches about 110ºC (230ºF) you should be worried about the temperature
Note that some graphics cards will fry at 80ºC so it really depends on which graphics card you have.
When you use 2monitor the gfx stays at 433mhz instead 233mhz of normal 2D gpu frequency.
That screenshot was shot right after a session of playing a game.
Usually while I'm working and not playing games it stays at around 38/40°, but when playing I'm overclocking it to 950/1350 and it goes to 65° which is 3D profile.
I have triple 22 inch monitors, so everything is left in windows now, and thus I always see part of the desktop. If you don't see it just seems like a pointless use of system resources, regardless.
