GPU/Other Heat...

Er, just checked on SpeedFan and my GPU is apparently far too hot (63c..?)

Are these temperatures correct, if so what do I do to cool my GPU down?

Most GPU's run at 50 - 60, when it hit's near 90c you should worry, but if you feel the need and worried about your hardware then you can buy an additional fan in there to cool the hardware more efficiently, something like this will do;

Ah awesome :)

I know about CPU speeds, but not really GPUs - so when I saw 60 I panicked :P

If you're running a newer generation card from amd/nvidia they can run at 90c quite easily. Anything over about 96~ is cause for concern.

Grabbing a custom gpu cooler brought mine down from 80c to 51c. It was radical

Thanks!

My GPU is an nVidia GTX 260

Expect it to run hot. Whatever happened to ATI running hotter than Nvidia I don't know, the tables seem to have turned!

My overclocked ASUS GeForce GTX460 DirectCU 1024MB runs at about 50c-60c on load however it has a stock 'after market' cooler on it which cools it surprisingly well.
