Specs: 
i5 3570
Gigabyte GTX670 2GB OC W3
16GB RAM
550W PSU
1900x1200 resolution.

Playing Planetside 2, BF3 and hell Crysis of all numbers, my GPU goes into the 60-68 degrees C range, understandable so. Is there any reason why Mass Effect 1, something far less visually intensive, would do the same with absolutely no tweaks beyond the HD texture pack? Hell i even get vertical tearing with V-sync turned ON.

There is no reason why ME1 should tax my GPU MORE than the Crysis 3 beta for less visual integrity.

I think a high frame rate can affect temperature. Even though the v-sync should be capping it. That said 60-68c isnt anything to worry about. They are built to operate in that range. I'd be worried if it were over 75c though.

Well aboved 70C the Kepler cards lose 13 Mhz raw speed, but its the fan i'm having an issue with. On more "demanding games" i don't have an issue with the fan noise because i know the card is actually working hard, but on ME1? Still auudible through a G35 headset?

NOTE: Just hit 70C on Feros....

Don't compare ME to anything other than a UT3 based game, same as ME is, and compare different Geforce drivers also. nVIDIA seems to avoid being fully compatible with UT3 based games about half the time.

you can always buy a better more reliable fan for your GPU :

or use a tweaking program to increase your current GPU cooler rotation speed to increase cooling

Dude, my GPU has three already and the cooling system is widely regarded as one of the best in the business alongside MSI's Twin Frozr Tech. It doesn't need a better fan.

Then your GPU is faulty , from what you are telling me ,you have a High End GPU , it should run everything perfectly while staying cool. I suggest you check your PC for malaware and your hardware for any damage because what you are saying is impossible. 
GPU's are designed from factory to run at certain temperatures and some of them , especially a high end GPU like yours , come with pre tweaked tunner functionality for overclocking your GPU and thus getting more power out of it while running more current and heating it.
So it's 1 of 3 things for you:

1.Your GPU is faulty and you need to repair it , take it back to warranty.
2.You have malaware in your PC that makes your hardware act crazy such as overheating the CPU/GPU.
3.You Overclocked your GPU or it has been overclocked through a tweaker or an external program and thus you are having problems with it.

There is no way that you can run any of the best games on the market today with no problem , and then say something like Mass Effect , a very old game , makes your GPU act up.
Not even my very old , low end GPU Nvidia 9500 runs on that temperature, and that is one hell of an old graphics card not worth more than 20$ compared to your monster GPU worth 300-350$.

Well, yes i can, because it does. Play Crysis 3 maxed out at it barely reaches 66C.

I use EVGA Prescision X for my extra OC, it didn't come with the built in program, and the Gigabyte one on their website is terrible.

Mass Effect always seem to run poorly for me. The second game runs better ironically.

Definately. Got as many hi-res textures i can throw at it running and it still doesn't make my GPU run over 55C max, with a silky smooth framerate to boot.
