That's not good but it's not completely unheard of for temps to reach that high or higher. You're getting pretty close to dangerous temps though.

Might want to clean things up and fix your airflow

My case's fans are pretty much dead.

What about idling at 50C?

I'm very uncomfortable with that heat. I'm going to assume that's the CPU temperature. First, what's your processor, case, and cooler? Take some time to clean your computer, do some cable management, and maybe invest in better cooling solution.

That's really bad. Idle temps should be between 30 and 40. Clean the dust out of your case and get new case fans.

When my GPU is idle, the fans don't even spin.

50 is normal at idle for a GPU. I have all my case fans turn off at idle/low load and that's where my GPU sits. CPU should be 40 or under.

Just get at least one good case fan and a better CPU heatsink

GPU.

Intel Core i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40 GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.8GHz. I have no idea how I'd find out what the case is... And I have no cooler.

Oh... Really? I used to get 42 around the lowest before, I think.

I didn't think you could just buy new case fans. That would require replacing them all pretty much, though. ;_;

When my GPU is idle, the fans don't even spin.
I didn't know that was possible. I thought they always spun.

You have to have something on your CPU to keep it cool. That would be your cooler. You should have the case and case fans as well. You may not know what case it is, but a quick picture will at least show us what your case looks like. Your CPU is old, so not a bad time for an upgrade.

You said it's your GPU temp. What do you have?

You literally can't not have a cooler your PC would overheat and shut down after 5 minutes.

My system at idle is 42C GPU and 40C CPU. Both with decent overclocks.

At max load, they don't get much above 60C.

AIO CPU cooler, and factory GPU cooler (running aggressive fan curve).

Oh. I didn't know just fans counted as a cooler.

A heat sink, maybe? It's not on the CPU, though...

I'm not sure what that would mean, but...

I'll get right on that. _

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670.

Oh, that's pretty neat. Just have to find out if my fans are 120mm.

New fans woukd be a start, if you think your fans are failing. Something like that can bring down the temp 15-20 degrees immediately.

That's an Antec One case. I had one of those. It's OK for air flow, but the case itself feels like you paid $40 for it. You have to have a heatsink and fan on your CPU. Open up the case and show us which one you have. If you don't actually have one, well, that'd be a great place to start to manage your thermals.
