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?

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.

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.

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.
