i just touch the back of my gpu and it seems pretty warm. so i attached a probe to the back of the gpu and temps were 51-2 is this too hot? at the moment it has a blue orb on it. wat are good temps to aim for a vid card??

mine used to run 54 w/stock cooling. now it is 35 water cooled. Not to sure on a max temp, but you are cooler than stock.
