I have an EVGA GTX 770 2GB which runs at about 91°F when I'm not doing anything, or else just watching YouTube videos. When I am gaming, it usually runs at about 110°F-120°F. Is my graphics card getting too hot? If so, how can I solve this problem? I am worried about ruining my graphics card due to overheating. (I just recently built my custom gaming PC.)

how is your case fan configuration?

you should have your side and front fans blowing air in and your top and back as exhaust.

If that is indeed Fahrenheit and not Celcius, then those temperatures are great and you have nothing to be concerned about.

I have two 140mm fans in the front taking air in, and one exhaust fan in the back, and one exhaust fan on the top.

Yes, they are in Fahrenheit. Thank you, I have been so worried because multiple people have been telling me that is way too hot, and the program SpeedFan says it is way too hot. SpeedFan also says that something named Temp 3 is getting is too hot, do you know what that may be?

91F is actually pretty cold. it's 32C if you convert it. Mine runs @ 44C at idle, though it's a different card and my room is pretty hot.

Move one of your front fans to a side intake blowing cool air over your video card and see how your temps are.

Get into the habit of using Celcius when talking about computer hardware. Eventually it will make everything much clearer for you.

yeah that is only 48c

sorry i always use Celsius.

but yeah still move the fan and your temps may very well fair better.

Instead of that, would I be able to move the top fan and make it an intake fan so I have 3 intake fans and one exhaust fan?

You could do that, or you could leave it as is, since your temps are pretty awesome.

Average for GPU at 100% load is 70-80C. Acceptable normal temp could go as high as 95C for some models. 48C is very cool, meaning that you have good airflow and likely good quality silicon in your GPU.

Thank you for your help. I feel so relieved now knowing that an expert has said my GPU temperatures are good, and cool.
