I just built my first gaming desktop a couple of days ago. All of the hardware is working great so far, I just want to make sure everything is working optimaly. I am running an MSI R9 270 Gaming 2GB video card. My normal GPU temperatures under load are 65-68C and around 26C idle. I know the idle is fine but the temperatures seem a little bit high under load. From what I've read, it seems most people see the card peak around 56C with the stock cooler. Is there anything I can do to bring down the temperatures or am I freaking out for no reason? Thanks for the help. This site has been an amazing resource these past few days
