I have an intel i5 4670 @ 3.4ghz and a palit 2gb gtx 770. I decided to download GPU-Z to have a look at my tempuratures. Firstly i played shogun 2 for a couple of hours, ad then exited the game, started up the gpu-z and it said my temprature was between 40-46c (was abit confused seeing as people usually report there cards going up to 70+c) so thought it was just because hsogun 2 is more cpu heavy. So a while after i tried batman arkham origins, again played for a couple of hours and tried the monitor again, and again it stated between 40-46c (at idle its anywhere bweteen 28-35). So is there a problem? do i need to have the gpu-z aplication running in he background when i start my game for it to monitor correctly, or does the gpu temp just rapidly decrease after you stop playing the game. Just think its a little strane as most people report anaywhere between 60-85c (at clock speeds) and i only have 2 case fans and the cpu fan is nothing special (i try to keep my room cold by having the windw open, its chilly here inthe uk if that makes a difference)

Yes GPU temp will drop immediately after you stop playing the game. To get an accurate reading, you need to watch GPU-Z while playing. GPUs can drop temps quickly, often by 20C+ in a matter of seconds once the load is gone. Play your game with GPU-Z opn, then alt+tab to it to get the correct reading.
