Hey my graphics card is overheating and I have no idea how to stop it. It says the fan speeds are at 20% and that it's at 52 degrees celsius. I also have a case fan that is not moving at the right speed. This problem came out of nowhere and I'm completely lost on how to fix it. I have an AMD radeon HD7950 3GB graphics card. Any help will be greatly appreciated. http://imgur.com/OosLXMy this is a screenshot of TechPowerup GPU showing what i just stated.

Active, or just idle? Also, have you overclocked it?

That's perfectly fine, a-lot of cards reach high temperatures while playing games. As long as you don't go over 90C, that's about the limit. These parts can run rather hot, but if you are still paranoid, make sure you have good airflow in your case, no obstructions such as wires, etc.

Graphics cards heat up very quickly and easily.
My GPU idles at 35C and flares to 70C when hard gaming.
As long as your GPU never exceeds 90C you're fine.
