I know that this is the Black Death of all GPU questions, but i have a question about my MSI GTX 960. In MSI Afterburner i always keep up my GPU temp while playing games. When i play game the GPU temp goes up to 60*C and steady with ~1-2 + and -. while at no load and 32.8*C at 9-10% load (Watching youtube/Netflix) I am always paranoid and just want a humans personal response.

Thanks!

What's the question? Those seems to be pretty normal temps for Air cooled GPUs. My 980 Ti runs in the same temps. Unless it reaches the mid 90s or 100C, that should worry you, but even then, the GPU is smart enough to thermal throttle, in other words, it lowers the performance to make the gpu cool down. Worst case scenario... it will just shutdown before any damage. I mean, this is extreme cases when the GPU fans have to be clog with dust or just bad cooling. Still, those are pretty normal GPU temperatures. Your GPU will of course get hotter when being pushed harder will playing games so Netflix doesn't require that much which makes it run cooler.

No problem there, 60 degrees Celsius is safe territory for these GPUs. Technically, the Turbo clock stays on until about 80C, which is the point where you should try and find ways to reduce it. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. Nvidia's official temperature limit for the GTX960 is 98 degrees Celsius, which is far hotter than what you're getting.
