Just got my new gpu the 770 abvously lol. i got the inno3d titan cooler one, idk if its ok or not but it seems to be running hot as hell, gaming its going from 73 upto 81c i've never had a card run that hot, im wondering if its ok or have a got a duff one?

Let's face it..the Titan cooler ain't gonna be as efficient at cooler as the "custom dump heat into the case coolers". If you bear in mind that the GTX770 consuming up to 240W, higher if you overclock, up to 81C is not too bad for a blower type cooler (may be all your old cards used under 225W using just two PCI-E 6 pin or less?).
Also, it's alway easy to jump to conclusion and blame the vga cooler...have you tried to improve the airflow, or somehow feeding the vga cooler's intake with more cool air?

That's how the titan cooler works I thought? Almost all of them run at 80-81 degrees unless you setup a custom fan profile.
Its definitely nothing to worry about. What fan % does it get to at auto? The blower type coolers are very effective when you increase the speed.

Those temps look normal. Titan coolers aren't very efficient at all.
Thanks for the responces, i was obviously worryed but i've since done a fair amount of reading on every forums i could find and its perfectly normal, gpu boost clocks the card till it reaches 80c and if it go's higher underclocks, kinda weird but hey ho. I know for the money i could have got a better card, a lot bloody better BUT i've done a green themed build and wanted it too look showy. Needless to say next build wont be a showy one lol. Every card i've ever had prior has been an amd non referance with a single 6pin so i guess im just not used to 'higher end' cards.
With regards air flow in my case, i have the corsair 350d. two 120s in the front intake two 120s in the roof as exsaust and one intake on the back for my cpu cooler (h60v2). I plan on changing it up a bit tommorow just to see if it does lower things a bit and use the roof as intake and the back as exsaust, bringing more cold air to the top of the gpu makes sence.
Sorry to ramble on a bit like lol

It does
Those temps seem normal

I think the two front intake is sufficient already...changing your roof from exhaust to intake would be counter-productive if considering the overall airflow.
Don't think there's much you can do, unless you can somehow make the room temperature lower, thus the air that get intake into the case would be cooler as well.
As I said before, you have to bear it mind the GTX770 power consumption is around 240W even at stock, whereas GTX680 and GTX670 are sub 200W if I remember correctly. So with the higher power consumption, the card will naturally gives off more heat.

Just gonna leave as is then, wont be overclocking it thats for sure, but i doubt i will need to for a whilst. I've already started saving for the 880 (with a beefy cooler lol)
By the time the 880 comes out you'll still probably get £150 for your 770, taking into account nvidia price rises you'll still need to save about £500

May be it's colder where you are at and you got lower room/ambient temperature?
The kepler card target temp is 80 by default, so if the card has a reference-type cooler, it will keep the card at 80 on load and increase the fanspeed depending on how much load.
That's also what my 670 does without a custom fan profile. Yeah it is completely silent at load as well, when it is at 80. However, with a custom profile to keep it under 70 (No throttling) it does get loud.
As others have said, it does not run hot, it runs normal temp and probably stays quiet

Cant hear it at all lol
So yea thats more than likely a good sign I gotta say heat aside its a fantastic performing card more so compared to my old 7850, borderlads 2 maxxed out physx on high 110fps....BEAUTIFUL!

Your card is running fine, you will find if you overclock it the card will actually run cooler. By this I mean you will also adjust the fan profile as well as overclocking.
A stock Titan is exactly the same, it will hover around 80c but when you overclock and use a custom fan profile it runs a few degrees cooler.
I don't understand this because I haven't adjusted the temp target so its at 80c, but the card never goes over 75c. I just checked now with Crysis 3 and on rare moments it went to 77c but most of the time 75c. A lot of other games its less. What gives?
edit: I have set a more aggressive fan profile so its probably that
That's it. GPU boost 2.0 temp target is not a "Target temp" for Fans. The card will keep adding volts, power, and clocks until the target temp is reached, or until a cap is reached on one of them.
If your card is running at max volts already, and your fan profile is still keeping it at 77 instead of 80, then you are pretty much at the limit of the (automatic) kepler boost 2.0.
Fan profile can be controlled separately, as you are doing, and that can be used to avoid throttling, as the damn things do throttle at 70, 75, 80, and 90. Well actually, I am not sure that a 780/titan do, but the rest of the keplers do.
.. I think
