Hey guy i have a Msi gtx 660 ti tf 3gb in my Pc it seems to get really hot Like 82c when i play high resolution Games like cs go Is there a way I can lower the temp
 
Hello... What FAN speed (%) is associated with your 82C temperature? I find most Older Nvidia cards, like your Model, will run in the Low 80's when gaming. AS a "Simple Test" take a cover off your case and re-check your Temp and Fan speed... to see if ample Cool Air, Could changes these GPU numbers.

Apparently my Fans On my Graphics card dont come on until a certain temp i dont know what temp that is And i cant change it were there on all the time
 
Hello... the STD BIO's firmware should have your GPU FAN idling at 30-33% fan speed... Have you DL'd the small app GPU-Z? it is great graphical analysis tool, I use for my Nvidia cards and my Firmware Mods.

Typically you will see Visual artifacts when the GPU/Mem is being Thermally challenged... but Low eighties is not BAD, BUT also you don't want be at 100% Fan speed OR 0% either... this could mean some other problem with the Firmware, hardware, Thermal Paste, Fans, room/case air temp.
