Today I was browsing youtube when my GTX-670 hit 70 degrees!
Also core and memory clock spiked from 325 to 1189 and 3305!
And lagging started
No programs running in background, no recent driver updates
I rebooted pc but it happened again and again
I turned off hardware acceleration and reinstalled Chrome
my CPU is AMD FX-8350 and temp is higher than normal - about 60
this never happend before, please help
 
well the mem clock is typical if you were gaming, but not so much for youtube (you probably have it set to run at 100% at all times and do not have integrated gpu on your motherboard. and even the temps are fine if you were gaming, but since you are not, try playing with your power settings for things like the pci slot (all done in power options in windows, and the nvidia control panel)
