GPU IS HEATING? Or is it?

[pawpwner]

So all this time when i played a game my desktop coumputer would start to heat and fans would spin really fast and make this really huge sound. I thought that my amd stock cooler wasn't enough?I think i had AMD FX 6150 or 6100 not sure sorry, i don't have the computer right now..
CPU was about 55 celcius sometimes 60!!!, and i never checked gpu, but when i brought the computer to the guys who fix them, they told me that it is video card that heats.
They said that the video card is about 80 celcius and maximum that is possible is about 96 celcius(It's gtx 660 but the manifacturer has a weird name, i don't really remember it, but it had a car picture on top of the video card i think....).
My computer would never turn off by itself. So it never overheated so bad that it couldn't handle it, at least that's what i think....
Now i asked them to put some other video card so i would be sure that it's actually video card that causes my computer to heat.I told them that with my case, one case fan wasn't included.I think the case is http://www.sharkoon.com/?q=en/node/2557 .
They told me that one fan (at the back) couldn't really cause this. I bought this computer from ebay and i don't have warranty(REALLY STUPID MOVE, I KNOW). So should i believe these guys? I don't want to sound that i don't trust them for no reason. But i live in small country lithuania.And i live in this little town palanga that's near baltic sea, and i know that some people get tricked by computer fixers( Srry i am not english, not sure how to call them 😀).

Thanks, Thanks and Thanks for the Answers!!!

The temperatures are fine for your CPU...

Video card wise, it's a bit on the warmer side, but try to avoid getting to the 80C if possible. Just raise the fan speeds slightly through MSi afterburner or something and you should be fine for your GPU. Don't worry too much about the GPU.

Just remember to clean out your computer once in a while to keep the system cool.

Again you probably didn't read whole thing or i couldn't explain it. Right now my computer is at the spot where they should fix it.The biggest problem is not even the heat. the sound is the biggest problem IT'S HUGEEEE.I don't know how they will fix it.I told them to see if the same sound and heat will continue if they will put another card.Because they told me it's the video card that causes the problem.I am not sure should i trust them... So now i am waiting for response.And i am not sure what to do :/.btw it's 80 celcius.

with any pc airflow is the biggest issue. min set up on a good case is two fans in front and one blowing air out in the rear. also a gaming case or a good case has grills or fan mounts on the top of the case to let heat out the top. if you can with your case you want cold airflow over the gpu to help cool it. depending on the age of the gpu the thermal paste can dry out. the older 500-600 nvidia cards ran hot stock.
