What are you talking about 53c is a very good temp for a GPU most run 70c+ and that is still ok.

Thats 127 Degrees Fahrenheit. That's not good for a GPU.

Clearly someone who doesn't know what they are talking about. 53C/127F Is actually low for a GPU and even a CPU under load. 90C+ is where the temps should be a concern not the low 50's

I will vouch for this, having experience in both AMD + nVidia GPU's I can safely say that you shouldn't be worried about temps under 60c for GPU and also for CPU, however you would like your CPU to run cooler ideally.
And to whomever argued against this, you clearly haven't overclocked. Overclocked systems can reach 80c when stress tested and this can last for periods of up to and over 24 hours... Not to mention that graphics cards(more AMD than nVidia) can run at high temps. My 7870 Tahiti runs at 65-75c(75 on stressful games like Crysis).

I'm not really skilled in computer but I doubt I would be able to run game on high without having them overclocked. I won't argue because I don't know much. Just tell me why I'm getting fps drop constantly would be wonderful , ty ^^

Completely false. Maybe you should educate yourself.

Sir, you have no idea what you're talking about. GPUs are meant to withstand high temperatures. This is the normal for my PC and its running just smoothly.

Make sure your drivers are up to date firstly.
Download MSIAfterBurner.
Adjust power limit to +%20. Not enough power to the GPU causes throttling after overclocking although I don't know why your tdp would change over time.

I'm am having similar issues with some games.
It can max BF3 out and most of the time it's above 60fps, GPU usage etc. checks out, but with TF2 and some other games it dips below 30fps. When I check the GPU usage and clock megahertz they are fluctuating up and down. Is there specific drivers I need to download or are these games just poorly optimized?

My drivers are all up to date even my mouse ! So that why I'm wondering..

lol, yeh you better keep that mouse updated.
But do what I said and tell me if that works. If it doesn't it may just be done. Still curious as to why I'm having my problems though.

[sarcasm]Oh really in that case I better try and lower the temps of my 7970 if what you say is correct then 68C must be frying the crap out of it. Thanks for all of your help Mr Computer Genius[/sarcasm]

I'm on it atm but I'm not sure about this since I haven't done the overclocked by myself

Adjusting power limit is harmless it just allows the card to use more wattage if it needs to.

I cannot modify it it's like dark so I can't touch it
