Are these Gaming PC temperatures normal? If not, how can I improve them?

Hello, I am having a few problems with my old gaming rig. It is a couple years old now but still very good for the price.

My specs:

CPU: i5 4690k (non-overclocked)
Motherboard: Mini-ITX LGA 1150 Gigabyte Mobo
GPU: GTX 970 Zotac 4gb
RAM: 8gb DDR3 ram
HDD: 1TB WD Blue
PSU: 500 watts EVGA 80+ Bronze
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master 212 Hyper EVO
Case: Fractal Design Core 500 (mini-ITX)
1 fractal design exhaust fan and 1 Noctua intake fan above the PSU due to CPU cooler height restrictions.


I recently transported my system to mini-ITX and for a while I had really good temperatures and no noise but recently I switched from the Corsair H60 (cause it was really loud) to a new 212 Hyper EVO.

At idle all my components get to around 30-35 degrees when at idle. During intensive gaming of Skyrim Special Edition (though hardly a demanding game) and the Witcher 3 (a very demanding game) my CPU reaches temps of 40-45 degrees though no higher then that. My mobo gets pretty hot at around 40-50 degrees though usually 40-45 during gaming. My gpu for some reason cranks up to 60 degrees and the fans get really, REALLY loud. I assume the noise if from my GPU fans cause there are 2 fans making the noise though it could be my Noctua fan but I am loath to take off my case lid to find out because it is a pain to put back on!

Basically I am wondering if these temperatures seem normal or not and am wondering if temps would improve if I got a new case (I am considering the Fractal Define Nano S or the Phantex Evlov ITX case) or removed a dust filter or something.

I might get a new GPU but can only afford the GTX 1060 which isn't a huge improvement over my 970. Still might get it anyway due to temps and power draw, etc.

Any thoughts on my problem? Many thanks in advance!!!!

60C is nothing, normal GPUs can go upto 80C on full loads and it's still not a bid deal. Now, about the loud fans, why not turn down your fan speed? You can use something like MSI Afterburner for that.
60C is not a big deal at all but if you're worried, try cleaning out some dust from your GPU, good luck.

Sometimes during the Witcher 3 it went to 80 degrees during intensive cut-scenes and game-play. I will try to download MSI Afterburner and see. Is my Motherboard fine though? Seems a bit too hot to be at 40 degrees. Or is that normal considering I only have 2 fans in my case?
