GPU Temprature to High

[dovokko]

Hello, I have a MSI GTX 1050 ti low profile in my computer. When I play harder games to run they run well for example Overwatch looks great however the temperature of my GPU just keeps rising throughout the course of the match. It goes up to 80 degrees which is what I’ve read, a temperature that can harm the GPU. I’m not sure what to do to lower the temp. My computer is under my desk sitting on a little cabinet which I think helps it give some more air flow. Not sure what to do.... suggestions to this problem would be greatly appreciated.

80C is an acceptable temperature when under heavy load, as is the case after some time playing basically any game. It's perfectly fine and completely as expected, you should not worry. Of course it's always better, for the longevity of the hardware, to have it run at the lowest possible temperature. You may want to try to improve the air-flow inside the PC case. To do this, it's not simply a matter of adding fans, as fans in the wrong place could potentially hinder air-flow. So depending on your current configuration (case model, component placement, available fans and their respective positions, location of the PC case), you will want to act in a different manner, it's hard to tell not knowing the exact configuration. But in any case, 80C is not something to worry about, it's perfectly fine and your GPU will not die of it, it's meant to work at that temperature.
