CPU and GPU issues

[dlbroere]

Not sure if this is a computer issue or software issue. I recently(within the last year} upgraded to an intel core i7-6700k and new hardware to game with. it was immediately after i upgraded my GPU drivers(last Nvidia Update for Players Underground) that i started noticing weird things. First thing was i went to work and came home and the red overheating alert was flashing on my CPU H100i. Graphics card was so hot that it burned me(brand new 1070). So i shut it off and let it cool down. After about 4 hours of letting it cool down i started it up. I have been watching my CPU and GPU temps my 1070 sits about 55 degrees idling now when before it was 40 degrees and my cpu idles about 45-55 degrees when it used to average 30-36. it hasnt done this before so i ran a memtest(came up good, with no errors) and did a intense cleaning on everything, which there wasnt much dust in my pc. my pc specs are as follows:
CPU Intel Core I7-6700k
Motherboard- MSI Enthusiastic Gaming M3
Ram- Corsair Vengeance LED 16GB DDR4
GPU- EVGA Geforce GTX 1070 FTW Edition 8GB
PSU- EVGA Supernova G1 750W
HDD- 500gb Western Digital SSD, 2tb Secondary Storage
Before anyone asks, it hasnt been doing this before and the entire components in my pc have been updated within the last year, if even that.GPU and CPU temps are redlining when gaming so i put a fan next to my case blowing in cold air trying to keep them normalized until i can figure out why its having issues.

A new component can still be faulty.

At the very least you're experiencing overheating issues. Aside from just clearing out the dust have you changed the thermal paste for the CPU cooler? That would be something to do to see if it helps with bringing the temperature down. I would also check to see if the cooler is actually working as well (liquid cooler's have more points of failure). Graphics card could probably do with the same treatment, though I don't see it mentioned.

You could also try rolling back the driver. There are occasions where bad drivers have caused problems. I wouldn't expect it to effect the CPU but could be part of a different issue. Part of me suspects something happened, like a power surge, when you were out.
