My gtx 660 is on 27 c when i am just using internet and when i play some games like Tomb Raider it goes to 66-71 i play on ultra settings the fan speeds are on 44% and my room temp is 18c are those temps ok
 
Solution
yea that's fine, is it a reference card or an after market cooler? My 280x sits around 60 playing bf4 so you can up your fans a little to bring the temp down, but graphics cards can run constantly in the 80s with no problems. Just always make sure to not exit a game and shut down right away, let the card idle to cool down.

Okay i want to make a fan curve cause where i live in a few months the room temp reachs 35-40c can you advise me how to make mine and what are the max fan speeds the PNY Version of the gtx 660 can stand without damging it
 
It's completely fine to push the fan speed to 100% above 85C, the fan won't kill itself because those will be the speeds the fan has been specced to operate at

71C on full load is pretty good, you could consider 70% fan speed at 70 degrees on the curve and 100% at 85C
