so my problem is, when i play games like world of war craft, arche age, Tera ect. my graphic card reaches 70*C and then crashes. Also the idle temp is 45*C. just wondering if this is normal and anything i can do to stop this, like getting more case fans.

 

thanks for any help

70 degrees C is just good and it shouldn't crash like that..

What is your CPU doing in terms of temps?

Clean out the dust, and maybe re-apply thermal paste to the graphics card. Linus has a video on how to re-apply GPU thermal paste

Something like speedfan might work for that.

What makes you think your GPU is causing this?

Are you water cooling?

 

35*C under load isn't likely otherwise.

 

You're sure that your fan is spinning on the card when gaming? Try using afterburner to setup a fan curve for the fan and see if it still crashes.
