Hey all!

I have recently seen that my EVGA GTX 660 2GB has been getting to 93 degree's which seems to a little high, this was whilst i was in game on counter strike.

In game (counter strike) - http://gyazo.com/c41a3807e562c997eb30824436781ed8
Note that i had to alt tab to take the pic, when I'm in game its at around 99% GPU usage, is this normal ?

Earier I gave my PC a real good clean and the temperatures has still not dropped, All my Case Fans are working fine ect its just the card, any ideas ?

did you clean the gpu also. get rid of all of the dust.

you may need to take it apart and put some new thermal paste on it.

i had to with one of my 7950's and with a good cleaning with some isopropyl alcohol and new thermal paste I dropped 10C or more. i bought it used and it was dirty.

i would crank that fan speed up also until you give it a good cleaning
