My english isn't very good, bare with me here.
I have a MSI HAWK 7870. Because I have big fans on my CPU cooler, the GPU sits in the secondary PCI-e slot, right above the PSU. There are also a few thin header wires that go in between the PSU and GPU. I am afraid that this causes my temperatures to go up while gaming.
In Far Cry 3 1080p on Ultra, my GPU temp peaks at 72*c after about 2 hours of game time. This scares me so I shut it down. At idle, the GPU temp is 25*c, so that isn't too bad.
Is 72*c while playing Far cry 3 a cause for concern? I don't want to fry my GPU.
Ambient temp - 22*c
Idle GPU - 25*c
Load GPU temp - 72*c
