That is a slightly high idle temperature.

Download MSI-Afterburner and use it to increase GPU fan speed.

Perhaps reposition internal PC case fans to point more directly at the GPU.

You can consider after-market, custom-cooling solutions for your GPU if you're comfortable operating directly on the card. Those made by Arctic Cool and NZXT will take 40% or so off your temperatures.

thanks for the help.
im a big noob at this stuff and im using CPUID HWmonitor to check temps. i just noticed 3 temps that are displayed under GPU as value, min and max. i was reading the max one at 50 degrees. what are the other 2? They are slightly lower at 44 degrees. And is this temp safer when idling?

Value is the current temperature. Min is the lowest temperature and Max is the highest temperature it has reached over the recording period.

Idling / surfing the internet / watching normal resolution online video shouldn't see you above 50°c.

During graphics intensive gaming you shouldn't ever go above 80°c. Personally I'm wary when a card gets over 75°c.

Following the steps I listed above can help you keep temperatures down. Anything over 80°c can seriously impact the lifespan of the card though the manufacturer rates the card for operation well above those temperatures. They're usually being overly optimistic.

Hi, I need your help too :) 

When I am playing game my Value is 40 and Max is 47. So which one temperature I have to look for?

Thanks
