values obtained by core temp 1.0
is this safe? max values occuring with heavy use of the graphics card (GTX 550 Ti)
the graphics card i am having issues with, i basically forgot to clean the computer out and there was a heavy amount of dust in the graphics card fan causing it to overheat and crash. have since fixed this problem but noticed the temperature still isnt great, and the computer does tend to slow right down and struggle which it should do with the specs i have and the kind of games being run.
it doesnt help i have a crap case, that the PSU is at the bottom.. which i have since been told that this can cause over heating as the heat from the psu rises?
anyway ideas guys? do i replace the graphics card (which i really dont want to do because of the cost) or do i replace the case? or could it be the PSU?
