I got Asus GTX 670 DCII and it is 30 Degree celsius at desktop idle but when i leave it for sometime then it starts heating up and goes to 70 degrees...i play cod ghosts at full settings and the card always remains under 50 degrees. Whats the issue? Thanks in advance.
 
Solution
It is most likely the FAN of the card which is giving you these random readings. Use HWMonitor to read the temps reading and post them here. Also adjust the fan curve settings in supplied Asus software (if any).
