Game is making my GTX 550ti superclocked over heat.
It has new thermal past.MX-4
It's fan runs just fine i just cleaned out the computer dusted it with my Air Compresser.
No dust left be hind.
Temps will go from 105F to 120F or more even at medium levels my video card still heats up to that temp.I do not like it when its at that temp.
Has the latest Video card Driver.
Windows xp
AMD Athlon II X2 260 74 ?F
MSI 870A-G54 (MS-7599) (CPU1) 92 ?F
1023MB GeForce GTX 550 Ti (EVGA) 108 ?F
Any ideas way it goes above 120 ?F
I all so use MSI Afterburner to adjust my fan settings witch is at 80percent of the fans speed.

120F and you're complaining????!!! That means your card is only hitting around 40C under load. The maximum temperature threshhold for a GTX 550TI is 100C, which would mean you'd have to be hitting 190F to 200F before you'd even have any cause for concern.
Please do some homework before complaining about temps. And nobody uses Farenheit to measure temps on a computer. Switch to Celsius and learn what the TJMax is for your components.

Until your card hits 80C, don't even bother thinking about it.
I am barely trying keep my video card at 120F i have a set of dual window fans that are keeping it at that temp.My fans are new in the desktop there air flow is between 30 - 80 each i only have 5 trying to keep the computer dual windows fan would be 7.
Only heats up like this while playing this game even at medium settings.
You are either a troll, a complete n00b, or totally misinformed about what the hell you're talking about. Absolutely no video card made in the last 10 years would have a safe max temp threshold of 71.11C, which is what 160F is. Also, no video card manufacturer would ever state the temp in Farenheit. Not ever from anybody.
As stated, in the link that I posted above, FROM NVIDIA, the max for the GTX 550TI is 100C (which is about 212F). Not to mention the fact that any card that is overclocked, especially from the factory, will have higher temps than a reference card. If your card is hitting 40C under load (which is exactly what you said), then a reference card would likely be hitting around 35C to 37C depending on the cooling option. Stock cooling options from the manufacturer are always hit or miss. My Superclocked Radeon HD 5770 2GB card with vapor chamber cooling idles at 38C to 45C, depending on the ambient temp of the room, and will hit 50C to 55C under load. That is normal.
Even with aftermarket, custom loop, liquid cooling, you will never ever drop your temps below the ambient temp of the room. Especially under load. The only way that you could do this would be with liquid nitrogen phase cooling or a true TEC cooler. The reason nobody does this on a practical level is because dropping the temp below ambient means that you will form condensation. Electronics do not like water vapor icing up on them. That tends to be bad.
Assuming that you have air conditioning in your room and the ambient temp is between 65F and 70F, it would technically be IMPOSSIBLE for you to keep the temp of your GPU below about 100F to 110F under load with a custom high flow closed loop liquid cooling system. With stock cooling, you're doing extremely well keeping it at 120F under load. I doubt very seriously that STO has enough balls in the graphics system to raise your temp much more than that temp on even the maximum high settings. Not to mention that the game would be nearly unplayable on the system specs your provided at max settings due to terrible frame rate. And let's not wonder what else you have screwed up with this when you try to claim that your CPU is only hitting 74F. It would be impossible for you to hit 74F even if you were just sitting there idling and staring at your desktop.
So please...stop talking. Do some actual research (which you have the capability of doing, you're on a forum on the internet already. You have access to the largest and most ambitious collection of knowledge ever assembled by mankind...take the 30 seconds and research it on Google). The more you keep trying to state how correct you are, the more foolish you sound.
Yeah, you're definitely trolling now.
You mean to tell me that your video card running at a human body's average temperature is too hot?
I'd love to see your reaction when you check your CPU's temperature. Go ahead, and be sure to YouTube it for us.
EDIT: Something tells me he thinks water boils at 100F.
Something tells me his mom dropped him as a baby.
You don't *need* any help. You don't have any problems other than that you have no idea what your temps should be or (in the case of your CPU) your temp software is checking the wrong sensors. Then you go on to make the asinine statement that 71C is the max threshhold for video cards and you've tested many of them. If you've tested so many, you would A.) Know this is a load of TRIBBLE and B.) generally know more about what you're talking about.
Again, you DO NOT NEED HELP. There IS NO PROBLEM.
And for the record, I give less than two ***** whether your report me or not.
