Hi guys, was wondering if someone could offer me some advice for a VGA cooler for my GTX280. Just now after playing dead space for like an hour i tabbed out for a bit and out of curiosity i opened HWmonitor and it said my GC was at 82c. Is that too high? Normally idle its running at around 51c

80c on fan is quite normal ler. My old gtx280 maxes out at around 84 - 85 under normal circumstances. I don't think you need to spend extra money on the cooler unless you plan to OC your card. Better to save and upgrade to 5 series =D
