himmatsj I'm not sure if you were aware that both the single and dual fan 960s have the ACX 2.0 cooler which does not activate until the card exceeds 60C. I would not be concerned with the idle temp since those do vary. I would pay more attention to the temperature when the graphics card is underload as well as the fans. You can set a custom fan speed/curve by using our Precision X software and or you can test the default settings by stressing the card out with a benchmark such as our OC scanner software or Unigen's Heaven benchmark. 

Wow, actually I just ran Performance Benchmark, and my GPU hit 80C! However, the fan speed was only 37%. I'm at a loss here. What do I do?
 
With my 750 SC, I never tempered anything. I left it at default EVGA settings. I could run at 100% load with max temps of 72C (with the fan level at 59%).
 
But here, it is hitting 80C after just a minute of being under load.
 
Is the fan setting here the issue, or is my PC the issue?
 
I would truly appreciate help from members of the community.
 
Thanks!
