Fermi architectures run hot bro.
Seriously though, 60-70C is not bad for gaming, especially on a Fermi. You aren't doing any damage at the temp at all. My 670s run 70-73Cish in game, and I'm a-ok with it. You can add more a fan to try and blow on it like you said, but if all you are getting is 60-70C, you are fine.

70c is perfectly fine.

On some cards, nvidia-settings can let you override the fan controls. (I manually set mine to full if I'm going to be putting much of a load on it.) Also, if it's a card that exhausts out the back, pressurizing the case does wonders for keeping it (and the PSU) cooler.
