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.

130f is only 54C, that's not hot at all for a graphics card.

Ambient temperature of your room will be the biggest impact hardware temperatures.

Do as Jack posted too.

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.

I'm still a bit concerned because the max temp is still rising.

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.

Alright. I'll open a new support ticket if it worsens dramatically.
