Is my GTX260 running too hot?

[rayman2k2]

Playing SC2 last night, I saw my GTX260 frequently hit the 70-74C range, it normally idles in the mid 40's C area. Is this too hot? Should I consider getting an aftermarket cooler?

Those temps are fine. What kind of case do you have?

Your GPU temps are fine. If you still feel uneasy you could try turning the fan speed up otherwise I wouldn't worry about it.

I have an Antec 300, with one intake fan in the front, and 2 outtake fans (one on back, one on top)

yep temps are perfectly fine.. if your really that worried just set the fan to 60% and it wont ever go over 60C and you wont hear it either.. i use to run my GTX 260 @ 80C+ full load 24/7 @ 600/1512/1161(with 1.18v bios mod that did absolutely nothing except create a ton of heat)

sc2 boosts my gtx 260 temp up to like... 86'C

temps are fine. do you leave your gpu fan speed on auto?
