Is 44C on idle too hot for my GTX 760?
My GTX 760 stays at around 44c on IDLE. Is this normal? my room is pretty well ventilated and stuff so it's not that. I usually vacum the gpu's fans, but that doesn't really seem to do anything. what else can i try? i could take it apart but i'm too afraid of breaking it, will it void the waranty etc? some tips would be appriciated.

idle temps are meaningless
44c is fine for idle as long as its max temp doesnt go over 90c

Idle Temp is fine, you can expect that when GPU fan is on Auto, or when u have something open that uses hardware acceleration, like a web browser.

What kind of Temps are u hitting under full loads, as that is much more important.

Don't vacuum Computers, you should blow out the dust inside instead.

Unless the GPU is a reference design, taking it apart to clean it shouldn't be needed. Most after-market designs (such as EVGA ACX) you can simply clear the heatsink and surrounding areas from dust by blowing it out/off. Use compressed canned air (and then vacuum up the mess) or buy an air blower that comes with attachments, such as a fine-point to allow for ease of cleaning.
