i have a reference GTX 670, When i first got it 6 months ago it idled at around 35c. Now it idles at 50c. When at load it will easily go to 100c even with V-Sync on, i looked a the cooler and there was some dust but nothing horrible as i dust my case often, these temps are insane and i was wondering if i should buy one of those Accelero after market coolers? my ambient temp is 76F

If it goes over 100c, your card is going to get fucked. And v-sync doesn't affect gpu temps. Those temps are not correct at all.

My Main PC:

CPU: i5 3570k CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper T4 Motherboard: Asus p8z77-v pro  RAM: Crucial Balistic 2x4gb  GPU: Two PNY GTX 680's in SLI Case: Some rando Antec one  PSU: Thermaltake 1000w  Display: HP Elite Display 321i 23''  Storage: Samsung 840 Evo 128gb, Seagate Barracuda 1tb

A reference 670 has some age to it. I'd open up the GPU and see if your thermal paste has turned to cement.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.
