Graphics card overheats even though it is below 80 °?

I have one (Gainward GTX 560 TI Phantom) I play minecraft with ultra shader. According to MSI Afterburner, the graphics card reaches a maximum of 70-79 ° … The fans all run at 100% but the graphics card overheats anyway… What can I do about it?

Clean them up. It's probably full of dust, if you already have it a bit. Also, you can't always rely 100% on it that the number from the Afterburner is just right. It also depends on where on the map the temperature is measured. It is quite possible that she is much hotter than you are told.

What about the other temps of the card?

And how do you know that it overheats?

1 week ago I cleaned it first.

What I notice is that the graphics card is the hottest in the PC… The cpu is at 60 ° maximum.

Ce

Yes and? That does not mean that it overheats. The map can be down to 97 ° C, according to Nvidia.

The TEMPS are totally O.K for a graphics card.

How do you know that she "overheated"?

Can't "overheat" if your temps are 70-79 °

qu

What I notice is that the graphics card is the only part of what is hot in the moment… The CPU is at 50 °, the HDDs and SSDs are at 20 °, the graphics card but at 70-80 °

Me

Yes, that's normal.

While playing:

CPUs run normally at 60-70 °.

GPUs run at 75-85 °.

qu

OK, but why does the graka overheat anyway? Or why can it be that the PC simply goes out after 2 hours? I'm totally confused at the moment

And again, the question arises, how do you come to the fact that the graphics card overheats, have you monitored the Temps live? For example With MSI Afterburner.

Can you reproduce the mistake? Z.b with a BurnIn test? You can take Prime for testing the CPU, and FurMark for the GPU.
