Hi, My second hand GTS 250 seems to idle at around 70c is this normal it has a big cooler but runs really hot?

also why is this card so long, look at the picture and you will see how big it is.

Why did the previous owner do this? Also the board is abit sticky because of the sticky tape that someone taped on there -_-
 

As I don't know nor have ever met the previous owner I can't answer that but lighter fluid or methylated spirits can be used to remove the sticky residue left by the tape.
