I need help with my graphics card.
It gets too hot even when idle. It's been like this for 2 weeks but yesterday I noticed that the temperatures were back to normal (44-47 degrees) but today they seem to be up again (70 degrees). I haven't changed any settings about my PC.

My specs:

When I start my PC up the temperature stays low, but when I even open Chrome it starts to rise little by little.
The air flow in the case isn't much, but it seems to keep other components cool.
The exact model of the card should be R7 240.
I don't have a custom fan profile set. Pretty much everything about this computer is stock.

What brand of R7 is it? MSI? ASUS? Sapphire?
It sounds like poor air flow to me. An old trick to test this is to open the side of the case and see if it still gets that hot.
Try using MSI afterburner to set a custom fan profile that emphasizes cooling. There's a gear icon next to the fan speeds.
