GPU heats up to 70 degrees

[im_yashwanth]

Hi, my GPU gets heated to 70 degrees within few minutes after I start playing far cry 3. Is it normal?

I'm using Asus R7 370 2GB graphic card

Yes it is quite normal. No worries. Reaching 85-90 C is where you should start worrying

those gpus are easily getting towards 70-80C if under load.
dont remember the temps when r370 starts throttling, doubt it was below 90C,
but try to improve (case) airflow to help cooling (lower/front as intake; higher/rear port as exhaust)...

get the msi afterburner, install without RTTS statistic server..
run it and change settings-->interface to smi big edition v3 (easier to read)
and use it to get an idea of avg/min/max temps/fan speed etc.

use the pc for at least 30min prior gaming so it warms up a bit, play for about 10min, then check the numbers...
