I'm using a 8500gts and why is it so freaking hot even on idle? its measuring around 70- 72C on idle! Is it because its not fixed in properly or something? Please advice.

Is it passive or active cooling? (With or without a fan)

If you're certain that you've perfected the airflow into and out of your case, then first check your bios setting. Reset the bios settings to default if you got a lot of tweaks for OCing. Other than that, another problem could be if you're using aftermarket thermal paste.
Also, GPU-Z the card. See if everything is running at its stock clocking speeds.
