BleepingComputer.com: Is My Monster Running A Little Too Hot?

Hello everyone,

A couple of weeks ago I built a computer for work and it seems to be running a little hot in my opinion (Mainly the GPU).

Could someone confirm this and if so any ways to fix this?

The Tom's Hardware link is what I would pay attention to.

52 doesn't seem to be that bad. I don't know the specs on the GTX 260, but considering how new it is, it should be geared to handle a lot more than that. mine is up to 52 within a few minutes on a cold boot.
