My Palit Infinity 3 RTX 5060 Ti 16GB reaches about 73°C while I'm playing games. Is that temperature safe for long-term use, or should I improve cooling or adjust anything?

Yes, 73°C is a safe gaming temperature for this GPU. Modern graphics cards are built to handle substantially higher temperatures and will usually throttle or shut down if they get too hot.
That temperature is completely normal and shouldn’t cause long-term problems. It may be a little warmer than expected for that particular cooler, depending on your room temperature and case airflow, but it isn’t concerning.
You don’t need to change anything at 73°C. If you want lower temperatures, check that the case has good airflow, clean dust from the filters, or consider a mild undervolt—but be careful and test stability afterward.
