Sure is it cuz my fan speed remains constant @39% and the temp goes up to 50 degree!!

I fear if it burns!!

Will it Burn anyway??? Can it sustain more than 50 degree?? :??:

Or should go with the msi afterburner option??

Regards!!

50c is actually nice and cool, there's no point blasting the fan at full tilt if the temps arent high. anything below 80c is fine, 80-90 is hot, and over 90 is not recommemded for longer periods, thermal throttling threshold is usually somewhere around 100-105c where the card downclocks itself to prevent damage from the heat.
