50c idle on R9 280X, should I be worried?

[viktory36]

Hello guys, I've assembled my pc and all looks well. But I'm worried about the temperature. I haven't any additional fans installed apart from the 1 that came with the case, and the 2 fans on the gpu and 1 from the psu.

Do you guys think I will have to get another fan for my build? I can't go for water cooling.
I can show you a picture of the internals and you can tell me if I need to clean up a few wires.

My rig-
fx8320
PowerColor r9 280x
Antec vp550 psu
Gigabyte GA 970A DS3P mobo
Cooler Master k380 case

As always, thanks a lot.

50C idle for a graphics card is cool. Under 60C is good. But gaming it should be less than 80C.

Should be fine. Although I'd only get worried if GPU temps exceed 75c at gaming load.

change the thermal paste (how old is you gpu?)

Some makers deliberately allow a high idle temperature to keep the card quiet when it's lightly loaded, so it's no big deal.
BUT, it sounds like this is a new build so there COULD be a problem, so download GPU-Z then run its render test (click on the blue '?' beside the PCI-E info box) then switch to the 'sensors' tab and keep an eye on the temperatures, 80C is pretty good, terminate the test at 95C, because something will be clearly wrong.
It's always good to have an in and out layout for the fans: Front draws cool air in, rear/top pumps it out, the case only supports a single front fan and it's a mesh rather than fully filtered so you could: Add a very high flow fan in the front and move the front fan into the rear, exhaust position, plug both into the motherboard headers and control their speeds through the BIOS to keep the cooling/noise balance to your taste.
If you're using an aftermarket CPU cooler which directs its hot air towards the rear exhaust fan, I've found it's best to not use a top exhaust fan unless it's placed behind the CPU cooler.
