Hi guys,
I have an Asus GTX 760 from about a week. Whenever my PC starts it's idle tempreture is about 50 C. And when I play games like Assassin's Creed 3 on ultra it gets to 84 C! I have an intake and outtake fan. Any solution?

Yes actually I have already setted a Custom fan curve in MSI Afterburner. I will do a thermal pasting. Thanks

50c is pretty high for idle temps on a non-reference cooler like that has..Have you taken the heatsink off and re-applied thermal paste?
You might have got a "Monday" card that had the paste globbed on without care and thus it isnt transferring heat effectively.

84c isnt so bad for load temps though,your card should be fine up to ~90c but it will start throttling and perform badly.

Regardless,you should apply new thermal paste and if the temps still are high,set a Custom Fan Speed Curve or get ready to RMA,because it should not idle that hot unless your ambient room temps are high aswell.

Are you running multiple monitors? If so, that would account for the higher idle temps. If not, it seems like you're probably in a hot room with poor case ventilation.

84c is approximately the factory preset Temp Target, so that would be normal, but its a little high for a DirectCU cooler. You system is not doing a good job of case ventilation.
