Hello, wondering what some good temperatures for this amazing card are? I have it but i'm worried if I keep my fan too high all the time it would shorten the lifespan of it. I usually keep my fan at 30-35%, and when the card is idle it's at 40 C, 55-60 while gaming. If I keep it on Auto it usually sits at 50c idle and 65 or so gaming, are these temps too high for the card in the long run?

Idle temps very; depending on card(s), air flow and if you OC (volt mod). Most folk should have an idle temp anywhere from 35-50C. Auto fan speeds (from my experience) tend to be.....low. Set your fan speed to 40%, it'll help keep your temps lower and there's no harm to your GPU in running your fan higher than auto setting. I run dual GTX 280s, with fans at auto (due to my MB setup, the cards pretty much hug eachother) the temps rid into the 50-60 for idle temps on the top card and upward in the 90s. So I run the top card at fan at 60% idle and up to 90% if I'm gaming heavy. It keeps the card cool and there's no harm to it.
