Hello!
I recently upgraded my PC by adding a GTX980 and moving all of my hardware into a new case, the 760t by corsair. I am monitoring my temperatures with the corsair link software and have noticed that my CPU and GPU temps are a little high. If you have any suggestions for cooling my PC better please help!!

My GPU and CPU sit  at 30-40 degrees Celsius when I am not gaming and stays at just above 60 when I am playing BF4, Is that too hot????

There are a few things I will list that might be contributing to the high temps, or that I am unsure about. I will also describe my current fan settup and list my PC specs, I will number the points and concerns I list so if you have any comments you can tell me witch point you are commenting on

 

1) When I moved my motherboard into my new case I kept my Corsair H80i attached to the CPU so I wouldnt have to re apply thermal paste, could the seal of broken and caused cooling problems?
2) When I first booted my PC in the new case the BIOS said that there was a CPU fan error, the H80i was settup just fine and running prefectly so I selected ignore this fan in the advanced options, is that bad? a forum used told me it was fine

3) On GPU tweak the fan speed for my GPU is set at auto, should I customize this for lower temps on my gpu?

My current fansetup is simple. I have two fans that came with the case at the front of the case intaking air, A fan at the top of the case intaking air, and my two corsair h80i fans exsauting air from the case.
4) should I add another intake fan at the top of my PC? I have extra fans from my old case

 

5) ARE THERE ANY CHANGES YOU WOULD MAKE TO MY COOLING SETTUP, I HAVE EXTRA FANS IF NEEDED

Thanks so much for your help, I will now list my specs i

60 is not too hot, my CPU gets up to 65 and my GPU goes up to 67 at full load, They are normal.

Thankyou for the reasurance
Would there be any harm in adding another intake fan at the top of the case? is there such thing as too much air intake? what I have read is that it is good to have more intake than air going out because the hot air will be pushed out of the cracks and holes in the case but are the h80i fans good as the only exsuast fans?

More intake can sometimes give better cooling, but it will result in more dust and more noise.
