[SOLVED] GTX 970 G1 gaming temp is 68-70(c) while under 65-70 % usage

[Ezio20]

GTX 970 G1 gaming temp is 68-70(c) when under 65-70 % usage, and 80(c) under 99% usage,
45(c) when idle. Is that normal ? :/

Your card is running a bit hot. But it's still within norm. As long as it's under 85, you should be okay.

You can make sure that it's clean and free of dust. Maybe configure air flow inside the case to make sure that the case vents out hot air properly. Last thing would be to create a custom GPU fan curve, you can make the fans run at 100% at certain temps to help control the heat.
