is my video card too hot?

[justwondering]

I have a gt120 by nvidia. On idle, it's about 67c and when gaming at about 85% of it's ram, it's at about 80c-90c. Is this too hot? My system is a prebuilt gateway that has smartfan which the fan can get really loud and at high speeds when I am gaming. Are the temps too high?

90c is getting too hot in my opinion.

You may want to consider more case fans to improve airflow.

I consider 80-95c is hott imo, i have a gtx260 and dont even get above 73 while gaming/stress testing via furmark and such.

Prebuilt systems tend to have shoddy airflow. At least open it up and air it out (recommended: do it outside and get the dust out).

Sometimes, this can help temps noticeably.
