Hello, so basically when i turn on the pc, the gpu temperature is 35°c and if i go play something the temp raises obviously, but when i quit playing the temperature afterwards is 45°c to 50°c and it doesn't change, is there any setting to make it go lower??

The graphics card model is the Gigabyte low profile GTX 750 ti: http://www.gigabyte.com/fileupload/product/3/5160/10893_big.png

I've also wondered if removing the little plastic case on the card could help lower temperatures, is it a good idea?, i've removed it once but i placed it back in, i don't really like the look of it anyways, should i keep it on the card ?

How long are you waiting after gaming? Also, what program are you using to monitor the temps? If those temps are accurate then you might have a case airflow problem. Try re-arranging your fans, usually it is best to have about the same intake as exhaust or if you can't do that then have more intake. Also, make sure that air is being exhausted out of the top and back of your case while air is being intaked from the front, bottom, and side. This is usually the optimal config for all cases. Otherwise, this doesn't seem like much of a problem. 50C is a very good load temp for most GPUs. Sometimes, cards just cannot get rid of heat efficiently, sometimes it takes a little time for it to cool down. As long as it doesn't go over 65-70C you are fine.
