I have a Gigabyte 4GB GTX 770 Windforce. I was running Dead Island on high settings and the temperature kept spiking between 60 and 82C, just kept being random. I also tried running Metro 2033 on Medium settings and the temperature was in the mid 70s (I'm assuming that is a bit higher than it should be).

How would I go about reducing the temperature? What fan curve would you recommend I set it to on EVGA Precision X? Will setting a frame rate lock on Precision X help with the temperature at all?
