Heating up higher?

Recently installed a new ASUS Geforce GTX 760, and it works fine, even now it still works great, but all of a sudden it heats up higher than usual. Spiral Knights used to run at a maximum of 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and Team Fortress 2 even lower. But now TF2 idle at the menu screen is 130F ish. What could be wrong? I just cleaned out the inside of my case, and the driver and card itself is installed correctly.

Don't worry, this GPU can operate safely up to 95C. Many video cards will run around 80C when fully under load. Only if you get above 90C (190F) I would start to worry.

130F (only 54C) is very low temp for this card. So nothing to worry about.

And TF2 is not the most demanding game, so expect your temperatures to get much higher if you install the new Crysis or something.
