Question PCIe SATA card

Using what is an off brand card. Supplies 8 ports. Appears to be working. My concern is the heatsink on the card gets to 140f. Even when the system is not doing anything. Seems too hot for me. I have another heatsink coming with a fan. Will see about replacing the current heatsink. Or attaching the fan somehow.

I also have a Startech card but it has a much smaller heatsink and it got just as hot while doing nothing.
