Hey there,

I've been playing crysis 3 a lot lately and it usually run's my GPU temp around 65-70 degree's ( MSI GeForce GTX 770 4GB TWIN FROZR ) I know the card is suppose to run up to 80 degree's no problem but I was just wondering if I played at these higher temps for 3-5 hours at a time. Would that be to much stress in terms of heat on the GPU ??


I have the Corsair 230T Windowed-BLUE ATX Mid Tower Case> I have just the stock fans in it and I was looking to add more. I was just wondering if people have preference over tower fans ? if so what are some good ones and why ?
 
Solution
You can add one or 2 more, but past that is getting to be too many.
As for temps, around 85+, but at that point the card throttles or shuts down.
You wont degrade the card with those temps, nothing to worry about.
As for case fans, noctua and corsair make some good fans. Just be warned, more fan can actually increase temps as well as noise. Good airflow>more fans. Example is adding fans to the side panels of most cases.

What are temps to worry about that would start to degrade the quality of the card ??

Also I never thought about that !! I figured more fans would cool down the GPU !! So should I just stay with the just the stock fans of the tower ? and don't and any more ??
