Hi I noticed while I was playing cs go that my fans were spinning up quite a lot. I had never noticed this before so I downloaded gpu-z to find that my card during load was at 87°C and when it was idle at was 76°C. I'm a bit concerned. Is this ok?

Also I have made sure that my power options are on adaptive and not Prefer Maximum Preformance.
 
Also the second picture was from 20 seconds of the game running.

    The Maximum GPU Temperature is within the spec of 92C, but a little on the toasty side..The Minimum GPU Temperature is pretty high though.
     
    Perhaps all it needs is for you to take it apart, clean the dust from the heastink/fan (at least), and apply new thermal paste to the GPU chip..It's relatively easy to take apart and I would definately do that..That card is aged and so has it's thermal paste.
     
    You can use EVGA Precision or MSI Afterburner to create a custom fan curve to also help.

    your fan is only running 65% at 84c, i set my fans to 15% above temp,so at 50c my fan is set to 65% at 65c its set to 80%
    and so on
    As Bob16314 suggested you really should remove cooler,clean and install new thermal paste. Hopefully it will give you a few more years of life

    Ok I'll change the fan curve then clean my heatsink and my fan apply some new thermal paste and see if that'll help.

    If your card has the Blower Style Cooler as opposed to the ACX Cooler, you should do it up right and get thermal pad for the VRAM chips and the VREG area..Do not use thermal paste in place of thermal pads..The thermal pads on it now might disintegrate upon disassembly like they did on my old EVGA 9800 GTX.

    A 150 x 100 x 1.0mm sheet of the good Fujipoly stuff (or equivalent) should do it, plus some left over.

    So I cleaned the heatsink and applied new thermal paste. The idle temp is about 45 degrees now which is great. And temperatures on load are 80 now. Keeping in mind I do have a multi monitor setup. But it does take it's time to get to 80 instead of being at 84 when it was at full load for 20 seconds.

    So I have now adjusted the fan curve to 15 above the temperature. And It helped so much. When I plugged in my second monitor it idled at around 65 degrees and now it's lowered to 47 degrees when i'm just surfing the web. On a full load the highest I'd seen it go up was about to 73 degrees which was OK. I thank you all for your help

    Room Temp & Case fan speed are also a big part of controlling GPU temps
     
    Idle Temps with out knowing the "Hz" your multi-monitor makes it push does not give a Clear picture of your situation
     
    If any of your Monitors are above 120 Hz .. turn them down to get lower idle clocks
     
    edit Typo MHz / Hz

    Cool beans 

    You can grab NVIDIA Inspector and enable Multi Display Power Saver to maybe get idle clocks/temps down more.

    To do that, right click on Show Overclocking and click Multi Display Power Saver..Checkmark the Target GPU..Checkmark Activate Full 3D by GPU Usage - Threshold..Then move the slider to, say, 30%.

    Happy to hear it all worked out for you.If you plan on keeping your gpu for a long time,i would recommend changing thermal paste every 12 to 18 months. By doing this since gtx 260 days i have yet to have a gpu die.

    What do you mean by MHz of my monitors? Are you meaning to say Hz?

    I'm sure that was a mistake because Cool knows all about Hurts and Megahurts and Gigahurts..Me, not so much.

    Typo Fixed in My Post ....
     
    "refresh Rate of your monitor" ..... sometimes @120 Hz & always when set Over 120 Hz ... your GPU "idle state" is stuck at a very high GPU "MHz"

    Ok, so I have one monitor which is 144hz so if I turn that down back to 60 will it fix my issue? 
     
    And also is there an easier way to make the monitor's refresh rate 144 again for when I wanna start a game without of having to go to the Nvidia control panel.
