Brand new to graphics cards here so I might be missing something. Tonight after installing my GTX 770 I checked my HWMonitor program as well as Corsair Link. My graphics card seems to be reporting that it's running 32-33C. Now my last card seemed to be running around 71C so i'm a little confused. Am I doing something wrong or is my computer wrongly reporting temperatures? I don't get how a graphics card change can make a 30C degree difference?
 
Solution
Its probably right. Make sure you did not launch any stress test in your benchmarking / temperature mapping programs and also nothing is running in background taking up video card's resources.

If everything is alright, return it to the website / shop from where you bought it as too high temperatures can damage the card and in that case it would not be under exchange policy of retailer.
