FFXIV Temps on GTX460

[Equinoxi]

Im back guys! finally got my system up and running with FFXIV. It seems my temp for 1 evga GTX 570 2.5gb HD is getting temp ranging from 74-77 with fan speed reaching 77% playing FFXIV. Is this normal? I have the Obsidian 650D full tower case. 2x200mm fans and a 1x120mm fan. Wish I could add another (gonna look into it) atm I have no clue what I can or should do to lower the temp. I guess it aint too bad but would be nice to be able to get the temp to a 70-75 range.... any ideas? someone earlier mention turning down voltage, think it was noctura, is that even safe to do so and would it really work? since I also have a 1000W PSU.

MSI afterburner and set 95% fan over 73 degree^^

Im using evga precision atm but do I really want to increase gpu fan to 95%? wouldnt that use up more of the fans lifespan? Ill try to add another fan in teh case if that would help but not many room choices with the obsidian 650D case.

Do not worry about that temp, it is perfectly normal and does no harm to the card.
The GTX 570 is rated to run up to 97°C.

yes..but with 97 °C on VGA you can have a TCase around 80+

I currently play Fallout III, Crysis 2, WoW and a few other games none go above 50-60c on a pair of Nvidia GTX460's at 1920x1080 max settings. I've noticed though FFXIV in the short time I played through the intro getting to the pub/inn that my cards reached 79c before I shut down the game. Is this normal for this game?

I have a GTX 580 and I get the same temps as you while playing FFXIV.

Yep turned out that the game is just badly optimized currently so all is good. Wasn't really worried just found it odd that it was making so much heat not even into playing the game yet lol.

your usage is so low, I never go below 95% lol....... my GTX 570 2.5GB HD always around 73-77c with fan speed ups in the 75-80% range, but I play at 1080P res

i5 2500K OC 4.5ghz -40% cpu usage 38-45c core temps, gpu as i mentioned above, load on gpu goes up while partying or in town but never seems under so much load, i could push settings on graphics more and bigger reso but run 2x 19" monitor and dual box as well as doing other stuff on other monitor watch movies listen music look on net etc so dont like 2xfull screen ffxi's.

i am happy how gtx460 and my i5 handle it money wise i cant quite afford sli (saving for a wedding >.<)or ide be running 2 of them
