still high no? the room is around 78.

Room temp 78 and 56C idle is just about right.

My EVGA KO was getting to hot and crashing games... card runs at 675/1950/1674... temps without adjusting fan speeds... (before rivatuner) idle @ 60-62c, load 70-95c (depending on app.) I have Thermaltake large case good airflow, cpu runs in low 30's and sys 40's.

I had to use Rivatuner to auto adjust the fan speed in these increments (these temps keep it cool and help keep ambient temp cool in case, I could bump temps up but I like it cool):

Fan Speed > Temperature
29% when temp is < 62c (this is the default auto speed)
40% when temp is > 62c
60% when temp is > 68c drops to 40% when temp hits 62c
80% when temp is > 74c drops to 40% when temp hits 62c
100% when temp is > 78c drops to 40% when temp hits 62c (it as yet to go above 76c so I never see the fan run at 100%.)

FYI, there's a step-by-step guide for setting up rivatuner:
