I bought a second hand GTS 250 512mb E-green OEM graphics card (This is the only cheapo card I can afford rn) and when I'm playing Borderlands 2 the temp is reaching 85-90c.
Is this safe or should I stop playing immediately?

My Potato:
Intel i3-4150
Asus H81M-D Motherboard
6gb 1300mhz RAM
CoolerMaster rs-500-pcar-n1 500w PSU
Palit GeForce GTS 250 E-green OEM 512mb

90c is toasty and I wouldn't recommend to keep using it like this imo

Us your case airflow constrictive 

Do you have some intake fans or ventilation as a whole?

That's not a good temp for that gpu. Got any airflow? You also should 100% repaste it as well that thing is most likely still using the original thermal paste which will be all but dust by now.

I have a intake fan pointing directly at the side of the card. The fan is mounted at the side panel

Just make sure if your more of a beginner to not use liquid metal as it's conductive and could ruin your hardware
