New graphics card= hot cpu temps.

Is it normal for a dual fan type of cooler like the 980ti evga acx 2.0 to give hotter temps to the cpu compared to the evga 670 ftw blower style type of fan? My cpu temps have jumped up from around 62c max in gaming to 76c with the only difference being the graphics card. I notice the graphics card running hot to the touch too. in game temps show 83c at 70% fan speed. Not sure if I need to re apply thermal paste to the cpu or not. I never like going over 60, but here I am at 76.

cpu is a 6700k @ stock temps with 1.2v. D15s noctua cooler. The case is a phanteks enthoo evolv matx.

No need to worry.

Just re-apply thermal paste to the GPU. 76 isn't that hot. 80+ is what you want to keep it under.

You're right about the GPU it's running too hot

My gtx970 runs at about 67 degrees C while overclocked and under load so you might want to look into that

mine runs 65ish non OC"d because

MY CARD IS BAD.

and I'm only running it in an s340 with like no airflow... 

& just saw that post edit

that beefy air cooler might do it, a long with that case.

Don't get me started on the airflow...

Well you moved from blower to internal. So instead of being actively exhausted, hot air stays inside case. Add one intake fan for CPU cooler if you are worried (which you shouldn't).

Tis normal and expected (esp with the blower>open air cooler transition)

I dropped 8-10*c on my CPU when gaming heavily for extended periods,......moving from my absurdly hot 85-88*c Windforce cooled 290x to this 60-70*c Windforce cooled GTX970.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz
