i was doing the MSI Kombustor 2.5 burn in test and temps reached 71 in like 55 sec. and then kept increasing and kinda stopped at 74 , i kept the test running for like 7 minuits , i realized that the fans were on 58% , so i put it on 80% and the temp kept falling , what should i do , are temps like 80 ok for gpu's like that or whaat , what should i do , i use trixx btw, i have a cm k280 case with 3 fans on is right infront of the graphics card

Yes it is fine, as long as you are talking about while the card is under load. If you are not, then you should be concerned. If you are not comfortable with these temperatures, you may want to download some software to control the fan speed manually like SpeedFan or do it in your Catalyst Control Center. Like the person above me said, 90c is when you should be concerned. You may even attempt to clean out your GPU from dust and other dirty substances if you feel these temperatures are unusual.

Well in gaming it reaches ~76 , increasing the fan speed damages any thing? If not how much should i make it while gaming? Thank you
