My Asus GTX 650-E is running at 55-60c when gaming, and I am wondering if it's too hot. if so, should I buy an cooler or boost the GPU's fan speed?
 
Solution
70-80c is actually still a safe range if you have air cooling and stock fans. 90c is hot.

To be sure, you can check the gpu models max temp range.
If it makes you uneasy and can afford a cooler then buy one. The lower temp it runs the longer its life. the silence is a plus too. hydro coolers are relatively cheaper now that a few years ago.

Ohh the temps are quite normal and i will say on a lower side a gpu can handle 90C without any problem yet below 80C is considered safe ad the lower is the better.

Ok. It's actually a GTX 650-E but I don't think that changes anything. Thanks anyways :)
