hello i have a low end evga 7300gt video card and the stock fan just died on it and now the temps are up to 96 degrees C from around 60 degrees c when the fan was working. i am just wondering if this will be ok to run at this temperature over night since i have a new fan comming and will be delivered tomorrow. i just dont want to fry my video card when im getting a new fan for it tomarrow. the threshold for the temp is 125 C so im hopping that it will be ok at least until i get the new fan and heatsink. i know that gpu's canm take quite a bit of heat but 95 just worries me i just want some advice on if i should use it while its this warm until tomarrow when i get the new fan.

96c is just idle since the fan stopped working finally after making alot of noise has anyone ever ran high temps on a video card for an extended period of time?
 
that kind of temp is REALLY for such a low end card, it isn't even a 8800 !!! i'd recommend to you to shutdown your pc until you got a replace for your fan. Either that or remove the lateral panel of your case to let some cool air in

LOL !!1 :D

yeah well if change your card every 6 months, then the temps are not a BIG issue here, but if u are planning to keep your card longer than that then u have to lower those temps. Your video card life span will shorten considerably if u maintain those high temperatures.
 
just throw 2 120MM normal fans at it . one from the side and one from below.

and set them to blow on the card.


and the results will be amazing.
