I was just looking st my graphics card settings and realised how high the temp is.

thats not right at all...

But i did edit the core clock and memory clock frequency a while back. Only a little bit though.

Should i bring them back down? and will that sort it out?

Or is it just the fact that my Card isnt gettin enough cool air?

I mean is the case to hot altogether?

Id really appreciate it so i can deal with it right away incase the thing just dies on me.

What kind of ambient temp does Speedfan report? 50C is indeed high for ambient. How are you set up on case cooling?

Those temps are high, you got any fans running to get cool air into and hot air out of your case?

Im sure i have lol. Ive not been inside the case since o put that card in. Also my tower is at the side of my desk and at the side of a drawer, and the back is facing the wall. Can that also effect the heat?

Ive never actually thought about how hot its getting, do them flames next to the temp mean its overheating?

Flames next to the temps is not good. It's probably time to open up that case and blow it out the dust with some canned air. Try to have as much open space around your case for air to circulate. Also try leaving the side panel of the case of and see if the temps go down. If they do then you need to get some better cooling working in there.

are you serious, you have no fans on the case at all, they are all internal, if so you have a problem,

put a fan on the top blowing the hot air out,(hot air rises)
and 2 fans blowing into the case from the back or sides.

the fans might not be connected to the mobo. there are also ones that connect straight to the psu

Like the post before, get a fan in teh side of the case blowing onto the cpu and gpu, and at least one on the top of the case as an exhaust. Go with the 120mm if you have a choise.

You want to look for:
DB (How loud the fan is)
CFM (How much air it moves)

The more on the CFM the louder the fan. 2 120mm will do just fine and fix your problems. Not to hard to add a side fan with a dremel and a little time.

Good luck and get some fans in there ASAP before you toast something!

anyhow 68° is not unusual for gfx cards. i wouldnt really worry about it. but the other compunents seem to hot. when you have time, put in some fans
