I have a Gigabyte GTX 670 OC edition 2 GB

i was wondering from my temps of that card, i can't tell for sure if it's natural or not

I'm getting as Idle without any overclocking 36~37 C

While I'm accessing Photoshop as full memory usage, I get 40~42 C

In gaming it varies, old games like Gears of wars , temp don't go over 46 C

GTA IV temp reaches 64 C

LA Noire temp reaches 55 C

Tomb Raider 213 temp reaches 62 C

Crysis 3 temp reaches 70 C !!


All of those games are Maxed out in graphics.

So i was wondering, if this is normal, taking in considerations that i'm having an NZXT Lexa S case, with a good cooling airflow

Thx :)

My MSI GTX670 OC 2GB (same reference card, different cooler) runs at around 35C when idle, pushes up to 70-75C when under heavy stress. Never seems to go above 80 so not noticed any throttling. I wouldn't worry too much. The Rivatuner/Afterburner stock fan profiles seem to be most effective at keeping noise to a minimum because they dont ramp up the fans until they hit around 65C+, which means the card will just continually heat up until it hits that point, then levels out.
