my motherboard and graphics card is running way too hot (it never did this before), I bought a new power supply today (modular) because I thought it would help with air flow, and apparently it didn't. I bought a can of compressed air and cleaned every corner and nook in my computer case with everything in it, that didn't work. I honestly don't know what to do. Here's a picture of the temperatures in speccy while playing guild wars 2 on the settings I always play it on.

(I noticed I been lagging a lot harder now too)

Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: forgot to mention I cleaned off the old thermal paste on the video card and put new thermal paste on it 2 days ago, that didn't work either...

 
The temps are fine for the gpu. I wouldn't really worry about it. The only reason why games lag harder is because of more programs and services running in the background while you game. Another thing is that that game isn't optimized for 8 core cpus, like the one you have, meaning it only makes use of 3 cores. (as i heard)
 
I sincerely believe the temps are abysmal as a few weeks ago they stayed relatively around 60 degrees Celsius or below when gaming. Especially the motherboard...I wonder what's going on as my CPU is cooler than the board itself...
