550ti is running at 80c.

I just installed a new CPU and a new case fan now my video card is running way hot. It started at 50c and has slowly climbed up to 83c in the last 15-20 minutes. I have cleaned it pretty well with a can of air but I didn't open it up or anything.

It is a 550ti in an NZXT Alpha case so there isn't alot of breathing room and only enough space for two fans. One on the side blowing air in and one in the back blowing air out.

position the fan on the side at the front as an intake fan.

And bump up case and gpu fan speeds.

Hi guys, sorry for the late reply. I did all that and it is still sitting at 86C according to speedfan. I am afraid I am probably going to have to open it up and reapply thermal paste, although I am worried I will break something.
