Why is my 1070 way hotter than everybody else's?

[dinosaurus]

Hello. Lately i got a Asus Strix GTX 1070 OC GPU. I haven't had any problems with it other than the temps that it runs at. 34-37C at idle which is fine, but while gaming it went up to 80!! not even that, but it was in GTA 5. after that, i decided to put on a temp limit at 77c. I haven't overclocked it since its factory overclocked at ~4000mhz memory clock and ~1900mhz core clock. I have seen plenty of people having 65c with this card at max settings in Far Cry 5, GTA 5 and many more games, heck, some guy had 60c in GTA 5 with this card at max settings. Right now it goes up to 75c in most high-end games. I know this temp is fine for the card, but how the hell do some people get 65c at max settings in games that i have mentioned???

Better organized airflow inside pc enclosure.
Lower ambient temperature.

How is your case? Enough cooling inside? If it really bothers you I recommend you to buy an extra cooler for your gtx1070 but those arent cheap.

SkyNet is right, Cooling inside of your case is important.

My case is a NZXT S340. i have 2 fans as intake and 1 as exhaust. all of those fans are Noctua NF-A14 PWM's. I have one fan that came with the case still inside the case but it's not spinning, because it was making weird noises and was very loud, i wouldn't have a connector to connect it to anyway, since all 3 are taken. Also, I have about 68 fahrenheit or 20 degrees celcius in my room at most times. In the future i will get another exhaust fan, but right now i have spent enough on this PC.

Try increasing speed of intake fans.

I'm assuming 2x frontal are intakes, 1x rear - exhaust and 1x top - non-operational. Right?

yeah, 2 intakes are in the front, but the exhaust fan is on top and non-operational is on the rear. I'll try increasing the speed of the intake fans. Gonna actually try right now how much i can feel them taking air in.
