I have a question, I have the PNY GTX 770 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133490), when I play games such as Assassins Creed IV or any other high graphics game, the temp seems to get high (80) on the graphics card. Is this normal, and if not is there a cooler for the card that anyone can recommend. My set up is below:

Thermaltake A31 Case
Corsair h100i (four fans exhaust on the top)
One rear exhaust
Two Intakes Front
One Intake Bottom

I have moved around fans and changed them, I originally had the top fans as an intake, and the front fans as an exhaust and I get the same readings. I have used Corsair Link and HW Monitor, and still get the same readings. So now I am thinking about getting a card cooler.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 
Have you changed the fan profiles on the card? 80c is normally the target temp for these cards... If you want to keep it under say 70c, you can adjust the fan curve... For that card i would think it would run under 70c at stock though... hmmm Your case seems to have the fans orientated the right directions and you have plenty of them for good case flow so that shouldn't be the issue... is your ambient temperature pretty high?

80c for a graphic card isn't something to worry about though, i would start to worry at 90c+, like i said before just try tweaking the fan curve if you are not happy with the temps.

I'm sorry this is going to sound dumb, but when you say ambient, you mean the room right? The computer is in the office which is rather cold, around 65. I haven't done anything with the fan profiles, I can try to change that around and see what happens. What would be the best profile? performance, similar to the h100i?
