I have a Zotac 1660 Ti Amp (ZT-T16610D-10M) of which settings have not been fiddled with. It runs at about 37C idle and 41C when I'm browsing the internet with chrome.
When in game, I limit the frame rate with vsync to 75Hz and usually tuning down the graphic settings a little to let it run at 50-65C depends on what game I play. The reason I do this is that I'm a little obsessive with temperatures and I don't play any competitive game, so I'd figure to not let the card run at full force (also because my monitor only support freesync and doesn't come with a DP port, so I can't use it on my Nvidia card).
Is this reasonable or am I worrying too much? What operating temperature is preffered for a card in the long run?
