How do I stop my GPU from getting hot?

By adding more fans, you can improve airflow out of your system, which in turn lowers GPU temperature. Furthermore, if your budget allows it, consider installing a water cooling system for your graphics processing unit. If you combine air cooling with water cooling, your GPU temperature will drop significantly.

Does a GPU need to be cooled?

It's no secret that the most important aspect of a gaming PC is adequate cooling. You could have the best hardware available but if the temps get too high, they are going to underperform. With GPU's getting more and more powerful with each new generation, GPU cooling has never been as important as it is now.

Should I put fans under my GPU?

GPU fans act as an intake which is pulling air in and blowing out of the rear ventilation holes. If you have fans mounted at bottom or in front then they generally should be acting as intake to bring cool air into the case.

Will PC shutdown if GPU overheats?

Your GPU will auto shutdown at a certain temperature, or under clock the GPU. There can be damage done but its unlikely what I recommend is installing speedfan, and installing a remote desktop server on your pc that way you can just be anywhere, rdp into the comp and check the temperature.
