What temperature range should a video card be in?

I've just downloaded Piriform's Speccy. A software tool that reveals the specs of the PC including some hardware's temperature. Funny thing about the result is, the video card's temperature is initially at 60 degrees Celsius and, after some hours of using it, the temperature is now at 70 degrees Celsius. What's a safe range of temperature should a video card be in? I'm getting worried 'cause the PC I'm using is open most of the time everyday.|||well that is actually the correct temp for your graphic card. so dont worry about it and if you really want to go into it, for your graphic card the lower the temp, the better, it increases performance, etc. but there is one thing stopping you, if your computer is on, heat will increase so dont worry about it. i keep my cpu on 24 hours for a few years already no problems so far im also running at 60-70 C. also try not to go over 70 a great way of decreasing the heat believe it or not, is to open the side and put a regular fan next to it. guarantee that it will decrease a few degrees.|||It depends very much on ambient or room temperature, but hitting 70C even at load sounds pretty nasty. Try feeling the air being blown out of your desktop - is it warm? If it's not, then the heat from your graphics processor is not transferring well to its heatsink or your case is not ventilated well enough.



You might wanna try this if your graphics card is accessible: Open up the case then start your PC, ground yourself well by touching the metal part of your desktop, then lightly touch your GPU heatsink to see if it's cool/warm/hot. You should re-apply thermal compound to your graphics heatsink if it feels too cool.
