So I get like 30-35 degrees Celsius in idle, but at full load it goes up to 72 degrees. Is it normal for this particular model? I saw different reviews which said it shouldn't go past 65 degrees. Don't know what to believe anymore. Thanks in advance for the answers.

Later edit: I forgot to mention that the ambient temp is somewhere at the 20 degrees mark.

I suppose your cooling may not be sufficient.
If, however, you are convinced that your computer is cooled to the maximum level, then you may have a problem here.
Have you done any overclocking? If yes, lower the clock speed.
Have you ensured that fans are running? If you don't have one, download a Gigabyte overclocker and see if you can control the fans. Otherwise, crack open the case. What comes out from the GPU fans? Hot air? Cold air? Nothing?

If nothing works, wait for another (possibly better and more detailed) response or invest in a new one. I recommend the new GTX 960, also from Gigabyte.

It's a little warm but well within safe operating temperatures. Just get some compressed air and blow out any dust that may have built up in the cooler. If you're tech savvy enough I'd recommend re applying thermal paste.

I just got the GPU (and the whole system which got assembled by me) 3 weeks ago. So they are kinda new. There is no dust there. I really don't know what should be the problem. I got 3 case coolers (1 intake, 2 outtake) on top of the windforce 2x. The airflow is good, no cables ruining it. Idk. And the thermal paste should be ok, too

No, I didn't do any OC. Both fans (windforce 2x) are working. I assembled the whole system like 3 weeks ago, everything is brand new. And while at idle, there comes cold air from the GPU. In full load warm, hot-ish air. And the airflow in the case is just ok. I got 3 case coolers (1 intake, 2 outtake).
I just want to know, is it possible that this temp will damage/affect the GPU's performance in the future?
