My ASUS R7-250 1gdr5 seems to be running hotter over time compared to when it was new. For example, when the card was brand new, I would get my max load temp around 58*C, 58 turned into 60, then 62, now my load temp is around 66. I also have noticed my monitor flickers on a dark screen, I know this is probably related to the monitor not the video card. I have dusted the video card, the card is not oc'ed and nothing is obstructing the fan. Are these temps ok, and any idea why the card is running hotter like this? The card is approx. 7 months old.

Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks ahead of time.
 
Thanks for your help! My ambient temp is a few degrees higher at around 21*c compared to 18*c given the fact that it is summer and I am in the Mojave desert in California. Are these temps too high and when should I worry?
