I currently run Guild wars 2 at “Best Appearance” but on “Speccy” i see that my Graphics card is running at around 70c, I was basically wondering is this normal? also it makes a little noise but that’s apparently Coil whine.

Was just wondering if 70-75c is kind of normal and if i should continue to run GW2 at this or drop the specs a little

Thanks in Advance

70 isn’t hateful. Its warm, but should be within the specs of the card. You may want to look at airflow around the card to make sure your removing the heat from that area.

For a GTX 780 70c at load is cool.
The GPU doesnt even start to ‘soft throttle’ till 80c and then doesnt ‘hard throttle’ till it hits the user defined temperature that can be as high as 95c.

Soft throttle: Lowering of core clock slightly.
Hard throttle: Lowering of Voltage & Core Clock.

As for coil whine, u should only hear coil whine when ur FPS is super higher 500fps + usualy caused by not having vsync enabled.
If its making noise at low fps its likely whine from the fans and not the card itself.
Ether way its not really an issue unless its particularly loud.

Enable frame limiter to make your gpu not work as hard 60 fps is more then enough

Also how many fans do you have one case and were are they
