Hi I have an old gtx 220 what I use just for Minecraft. And it runs just fine on the game but the temps are very high averaging around 97-99 degrees celsius. Is that a bit too high? Please let me know ASAP so I know my gpu won't melt.

Hi Bryh456
yes those temps are way too high
you may want to remove the card and check for dust buildup in the gpu heatsink and perhaps blow the dust out of the card , or look at
increasing the airflow within your case

Oh alright, but now it's not passing 96 degrees. And my case has a good amount of airflow. It's a factory Lenovo. I just stuck the gpu in there and it's been good but just temps are too high. But I'll try what you said and see if it works. Thanks.
