Hello Pc Specialist. I have bought my pc from you guys so im gonna first ask around here before i make wrong assumptions.
I've got a little problem with my Nvidia GTX 560 Ti, when im playing World of Warcraft or Starcraft 2 it really heats up (reaches about 89°C) and it start making a quite loud noise (the fan).
Ive got my pc for quite a while (4 months) and i am sure the card was not making this loud noise in the beginning.
Should i worry about it? Can i do something so it wont heat up?

clear out the fans in the case (probably wouldnt recommend the graphics card one), just unplug them and wipe them over, should improve temps

as wozza said, give it a bit of a dust, get the filters. do you have a side fan fitted over the gpu?

nah, i haven't got a fan over the gpu. any suggestion on witch one to get?

well according to coolermaster You could either go for a 120mm or 140mm fan for the side.

As for a reccomendation, I'd defo opt for a 140mm will shift more air. What kinda fan would you like? LED? quiet? high airflow? Budget?

This may be worth a read for you about cooling

have a look here too, they sell loads of 140mm fans, delivery is a fortune so I wouldn't order from them. You can compare them too,

I have that same case and my gpu never goes higher than 66c after gaming. It idles at 30c and I set all my fans to silent through the bios. I will be getting more fans for my case ( once I figure out which ones ), but im not keen on getting one for the side as I heard its not good for the airflow of the case. I'll properly get another 200mm mega flow fan and stick it at the top as an exhaust fan :)
