Hey, I just got my new 660ti and I noticed that when I'm playing games like BF3 or Farcry 3 the GPU will get to around 80C with the fan turned up as high as it can go. Is this bad or is it normal? I'm just worried because my last video card (HD 7770) would never go passed 70C with the fan at 50%.

So you have the fan speed at 100% and it still reaches 80c? Not very good indeed. Download MSI afterburner and set a fan curve and let us know how it performs.

Room temp is around 78F. I have a fan on the side window right next to the card that blows air at it. Should I open a support ticket on the EVGA website to get this sorted out?

Games provide a varying load so it's hard to use as a barometer for cooling efficiency. Id suggest running OCCT or Furmark and use that standard for other peeps to provide comparable readings.

What's your case like ..... mid tower or bigger I hope, w/ no less than 2 fans blowing in and 2 blowing out. One way to check whether your case is doing it's job is to take side panel off and use s strong desk or small window fan to blow inside the case.

I have an NZXT M59 midtower case. There is a side panel fan blowing air right on to the video card and there is also a rear exhaust fan. Both are 120mm
