I got a Superclocked GTX 780 from EVGA today and im loving it. One thing that i was concerned about was the temp, and its stock temp was set to 80 degrees celsius, which sounds hot to me. And i didnt want to decrease the performance just to save temp, and so in the precision X tool from EVGA, i took a look at the fan curve and increased it a bit. I want some suggestions. I have a GS700 PSU and at 64 degrees celsius im at 58% fan speed. Should i be worried that im gunna blow out my psu by increasing fan speed? Suggestions for a 700w PSU?
Fancurve Suggestions w/PSU?

You should in no way be worried about your psu with only one gtx 780. They will run on as low as a 550watt power supply with no worries at all. A 700watt powersupply leaves you with lots of room for overclocking even. Corsair hx, tx, and ax series psu's are all very good and reliable, not to mention they run very cool; but you should be more than fine with that psu anyways. The it looks like the numbers you are looking at are actually the fancurve AND temp for the graphics card, not the psu (takes some different software to tell you about those numbers).
Anyways, with the 780 having such a good reference cooler, you should only worry about temps or fan curves if:
1. You find the card is running over 75 degrees
2. you find the card is running louder than you would prefer.
Hope all this helped, and feel free to ask any other questions

But in general should i be worried about increasing my gpu fan speed to save temp?

Not with the 780's having a good cooler. The only time you should be worried about temps on these gpu's is if they are getting into 75+ regions...otherwise you are perfectly fine leaving it alone

But, if you like the security of knowing your card is running cooler, then up the fan speed until it gets to the maximum noise you can bear .
The cards are MADE to be able to run at 80 degrees continuously, so really, anything under that temperature is quite healthy
