So I just got my Gigabyte gtx 770 today and the first game I tested was World of Warcraft because that's what I play most. This card powers through it and I know I don't need something this powerful, HOWEVER, about 5-10 mins into it the fans according to HWmonitor are 2100 rpms and the temps are increasing pretty consistently and I can't hear my youtube video playing on my laptop next to me which I never touch the volume level on. I exited the game after it passed 72 C because my old MSI twin frozr gtx 660 on same game and same settings, ran quieter and cooler. So my question is: is it normal for the gigabyte 770 to run louder and hotter than an msi 660 running the same game and same settings for WoW??? The gigabyte card sounds like an airplane whereas my old msi card's fans only sounded like that when the fans revved up for about 5 secs to cool off before settling down again.
