Graphics Card Help?

[xNick1999]

I recently just built my personal gaming computer about two weeks ago. Everything is running perfect, but the only problem is that the graphics card is getting a little bit too hot. The graphics card is a EVGA GTX 770 2GB and it seems to be running at 115°F-120°F when I am playing games with high quality graphics. When I am on my desktop the temperature is below average at 91°F which is good. I am using the program called SpeedFan and all of my PC parts tend to be at good temperatures besides the graphics card and Temp 3 which runs at about 110°F. I've talked to some people and one said it may be because the power supply is blowing hot air onto the graphics card and that I can buy a funnel that connects to the power supply's fan and leads to an external air fan. Someone else mentioned that I could buy a PCI-E fan that goes right below graphics card and blows cool air onto it. Can someone please help me? I'm worried that my graphics card is getting way too hot and I don't want to ruin it. Can someone else help me with Temp 3 and why it is getting so hot? (I don't know what Temp 3 is since SpeedFan says that.) If someone can help me with these problems it would be greatly appreciated. (I have two 140mm fans in the front taking air in, and one fan on the back blowing air out of the case, and one fan on top blowing air out.) (If anybody could give me a link to a better temperature reading program other than SpeedFan that would be great. Preferably in Fahrenheit please.)

Hi - An extra fan to blow air on the card should be inexpensive and effective. The PSU fan is intake, it's not blowing hot air onto the card. It's an intake fan and if facing the GPU is actually sucking hot air away fro the card, it exhausts out the rear of the case.

Thank you, I did not know that. Would a PCI-E fan work the best? Or just a regular case fan?

I would do a case fan, should do the trick for you. I have one on the side panel.

Do you think that 115°F-120°F is too hot for the card?

No, it is fine for the majority of cards out there. 120°F is below 50° C, and going from memory GPU's, most folks agree that below 80C is OK, and below 70C is ideal. You are well within any safe range. I would be concerned, but
not panicked if it were to go over 70C. If it were to go over 80C then I'd do something more to cool than now.

Thank you. I feel so much relieved now since an expert has told that those temperatures are good. 158F is way up there for my GPU.
