Hello I’m new to computers.
My graphic card is idling at 64-68 c degrees with that said I recently replaced my PSU because my old one was making horrible noises and sounded like it would die. My old PSU was a Xtreme Gear 850 ATX power supply. After researching psu I found that my old one(xtreme gear) was a horrible one. My new one is a Corsair CX750M. I never checked my temps until I got the new PSU. I was wondering if there is something I can do to made my graphic card less hot. Also on a side note I have two monitors and if I start up a game, my second monitor starts to have artifacts on it.

Specs:

CPU - Intel Core i7 2600K @ 3.40GHz

RAM - 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3

Motherboard - ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. P8Z77-V LX (LGA1155)

Graphics - 1280MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 (EVGA)

Hard Drives - 1863GB Seagate ST2000DM001-9YN164 (SATA)

What is your case cooling setup (i.e. number of fans, directions, etc)? Sounds to me like you need better cooling going on inside your rig.

I don't think my case has any fans other then the CPU cooling one, and if it help my case is a Corsair Carbide Series 400R

"One rear 120mm exhaust fan is included
Two front-mounted 120mm intake fans are included. "

so there should be enough airflow.. maybe there's dust in the heatsink

Can you verify that there are intake/exhaust fans and that they are running? Like Kari mentioned, might not be a bad idea to pull the card out and blow some compressed air through the heatsink. Do you have a custom fan curve set up for the card?

I blow compression air through the heatsink and it didn't seem to help. No I don't think I have a custom fan curve
