My GTX 560 gets really hot no matter what! I was wondering if this was normal or if I just got a faulty or dying card. Playing Battlefield 3 or Crysis 3 for mere minutes the card reaches 99c easily and it idles at approximately 40c goes to 54c just watching a Youtube video. but I've been also wondering if this could be a wrong reading because it has never shut down on me.
My build specs:
Motherboard: MSI 970a-g46.
Processor: FX-6300 Stock Clocks (stock cooler).
RAM: 4GB HyperX 1600Mhz.
HDD: WD Caviar Blue 500GB 7200RPM.
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 560 OC 1GB.
PSU: KingWin ABT-650MM 650w.
Case: Cooler Master Elite 430 Black.
My case even has a 120mm sidefan blowing directly into the GPU and it is still reaching these temps, it is also not filled with dust, I just cleaned it. Should I reseat the heatsink with new thermal paste, I worry this could damage my card.

R: Put new TIM on the card, put the fans at 100% then try gaming, if the fans are running and your TIM is on, it is either dead or your cooler is reporting wrong temps, or you have overvolted.
