ASUS 750TI running hot even when not gaming, all after a new pc.

Before I got the new pc, the GPU would overheat and display the "display driver has stopped working and recovered." message, but this was in very warm room temps.
The specs were along the line of a a8-6600k APU with a 500w evga psu.

The new specs are an i5 7400 with a 600w evga psu. The temperatures have risen to along the lines of 37 degrees on idle, with a custom curve so currently it is at 50% fan speed. Whilst playing World of Warcraft however, the temps rocketed to around 70 degrees. This is a massive increase from the old pc, considering the fact that it never once reached 50 degrees in the old pc. While the old pc had better cooling, I find it hard to believe that there could be such an increase could happen.

Is 60-70 degrees celcius bad for a ASUS 750ti, or is this actually fine?

If you haven't got a well ventilated case the temperature gets higher then no matter how high the fans spin on the GPU it'll overheat and crash. 70c isn't that bad but you should be running lower, you should be looking into the case cooling as it should be lower than that, I'd want to run it just under 70c even though you won't damage it.

Perfectly normal temps.

I suspect you are seeing much high GPU load now with the new faster CPU, which is heating it up a bit more.

I don't know why there would be such a ridiculous change, but I do know it's completely safe. 70C is pretty manageable for a GPU. So I would just let it be, it's totally safe to run the GPU at 70C. But if you do feel uncomfortable about it, maybe you should check airflow in your case, and also maybe try a different monitoring software just to be sure. But 70C really isn't all that high.

I'm definitely going to look into getting more fans for better airflow, but as long as these temps are safe, I'm not going to panic. Thanks for the help, was having a mini heart attack for a while.
