This is not really a problem but im jus interested if this is normal.
So what happen is that when i play games my temps go up to about 60-70C depends on game sometimes they go up to 80C. But when i close the game to the background to answer a skype call or something my temps go down really fast.For example if im playing a game and i close the game my temps go down from 65c to 50 c in 10 seconds?My friend said its not normal and that my gpu is giving me wrong temps.I use gpu tweak most of the time but i tried msi afterburner and it showed the same temps. Here is a link for a screenshot: http://imgur.com/GX8KeGK.

Nothing abnormal there. When your core clock is maxed out, the temps will rise. When the game is demanding more complex frame rendering the temps will rise. When you stop gaming and the GPU idles temps will fall. When the frame rendering is less complex temps will fall. Work creates heat.
