A few days ago I rebuilt my PC with some new parts. I had this graphics card before I basically upgraded everything except the GPU. Before, I'm pretty sure that it didn't run as hot as it does now. When on idle, its at about 35 degrees C and while playing Minecraft, it quickly jumps up to to around 74-80 degrees C! Its about the same with every other game I play such as BF4, Bo2 and others. I don't think that its the airflow in my case because I have some powerful fans in there and air does escape the case.(Although the front and back of my case both suck in air because of my Corsair H80i water cooler. Could reversing the fans in the front of my case to push out air be the solution?) Nothing else in my computer exceeds 45 degrees C at any time even under full load, Is there a problem? Is this normal? An answer or solution would be greatly appreciated.

Basic Specs:
Intel core i7 4760k @ 4 ghz (water cooled)
MSI Geforce GTX 770 4gb Twin Frozr
32 gb of Gskill Ripjaw Z 1866 mhz Ram
750w Corair PSU
1tb HDD
120 gb Corsair Force SSD

It might be getting a little too hot, and there a couple of options you can take. If this card is a little bit old, you might need to replace the thermal compound on the card. Some thermal compounds that manufacturers put on their card are very poor quality and can dry onto the dye it self. If you are afraid of damaging your components, get some NON-conductive thermal comound and watch this video.

If you want to go a little bit further you can mount a water cooling block, or a mounting bracket on the card. If you want to water cool your components, here a link to a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR9jEczwCZ4

If your too scared of that you can get the nzxt kraken g10. This allows you...
