My graphics card idles at 74c and 76c is this normal?

Question

here is a picture of the card

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814122031

and when it gets to 90c ( only when i play games) the fan turns on sounds like a leaf blower and it drops 20c in like 15 seconds

is this to hot? is this a good card?

Answer 1

yes that is hot

you need to manually set the fan speed to 30/40% when your not gaming. and when you are gaming set it at least over 70% speed.

Answer 2

yes, although you might want to consider better ventilating your computer if you run games often.

Answer 3

ITS FINE keep temp under 50 ull do alright

btw my card GeForce GTX260 gets to 51C max when on load with FANS on %20

but when on load with fan set to %100 it stays at 28C
