Are these okay conditions for my GPU?

I'm mining with NiceHash and with my RX 570 i should be getting around 15$ a month (i know; i'm going to be absolutely rich:tm:). I can still play videos and do other stuff while my GPU is mining quite easily.

The thing is, that my GPU is consuming about 90-120W while doing so, at 100% load (despite Task Manager saying 5%) and at 50% fan speed which keeps the GPU at 75ºC absolutely stable. Are these acceptable conditions to run 24/7 for months on end? My GPU has good ventilation (backplate has a case fan near it with a lot of space and GPU fan has 55mm of space until the PSU, which is definitely enough). Card is a mining edition and on stock settings (actually runs quite well)

Im assuming its running a miningBIOS then?

 

Sounds good to me. Also a good idea to see if you can undervolt the card a little bit

It's actually running a regular BIOS (or maybe it's a mining BIOS that works fine as a normal one?) The card already seems to be undervolted out of the box

undervolted out of the box, that's very like mining bios behaviour

Probably running one then. It works just fine as a normal GPU though. Also question, would I be able to run games while i.e. mining? I can type on this forum just fine and watch videos just fine so it seems the GPU isn't getting used much

Seems I can although hashrate goes from 40MH/s to 30MH/s and I have to run the game at low asf settings. But it works.

You can, if you dont mind the performance drop on both tasks
