I recently bought Far Cry 3, and I found that it's probably the first game to stress me GPU this much. Unlike with other games, my GTX 770 on Far Cry 3 is constantly at 1254 MHz running between 70% and 99% GPU usage, with my fan usage currently at 56% according to MSI Afterburner, and temps are usually between 69 and 74 degrees.
Now, I know that my temps are within the acceptable range, but the noise the fans are making is really causing me to be paranoid, even if they are only at 56% usage. Even if these temps are acceptable, is it ok that it'll be running this hot constantly when I play the game? Say I sink 50 hours into this game and that whole time my GPU is between 60 and 74 degrees and my fan usage at 56%? Could that somehow damage my fan or my GPU?
