Hello.My idle/under load temps are always higher than any other comparison i find on the internet.For example my asus gtx 960 should be at a maximum 60 degrees under load.Well mine is at 70.The cpu is fine now because i decided to make my top fan an intake.I have 1 back exhaust ,1 top intake and 1 front intake.Also i took a picture inside.New case?Diffrent fan setup?

960's are good for 90C before you get scared, 80 is fine and normal, 60 is a silly figure to aim for, some of them have fans that don't even turn on until 60C.

Your change in fans is not a great idea, in at the front/bottom, out at the top/back.

The GPU fan speed profile will have a really big impact on the temps, so they can be manipulated to be cool if you don't can about noise.

Whats ambient temp in your environment? Interesting that changing the top fan to pull helped you... seeing as hot air rises i would think have it push out would be better. Typical case setup would be pull in cool air from front blow across cards/cpu and exhaust out the back and top.

Like previous poster said, GPUs can handle up to about 90. Like he said if you set a more aggressive fan curve it will stay cooler as long as you are ok with the noise. I shoot for 70c on my 1080TI card with fan curve because it seems to throttle down when the temp gets higher and I don't mind the noise.

16 year ago, my old 8800GTX used to run in the 80s and never had a problem with it. I live in hawaii with no AC and ambient gets up to about 85-90f.
 
My ambient should be around 26 degrees + a few more because the case is close to a radiator.The top change helped the CPU.The GPU is the same.So its not that i need more fans or that the cable management is bad?
