New PSU changed OC Temps???

I recently switched my PSU from an TX750 to an AX760i. The switch went smooth, with a little minor hiccup.

My CPU is a 8350 was @ 4.7, with an load temp at 55c with the old psu.

Once I booted the computer with the new psu however, I noticed that the temp went up to 68c once I did a stress test with prime98.

I reapplied new paste to my H60 and tested it out to see if it would straighten out but the temps were right at the limit around 62-65c.

I'm pretty much stumped. I'm not sure if it's the new psu causing the load temps to rise or something else.

I'm dropping the frequency down at the moment but wondering is it really the new psu causing the increase temp or something else?

Yes. Forgot to add to that the only thing that I changed when overclocking was that I changed the multiplier and set the Vcore Loadline to extreme. Cpu Volt was at 1.4

That's not the best answer. I hit the button by mistake.

Update: So I reseated my fans on my H60, and cleaned the radiator. Updated my bios (which wiped my profiles, so I had recreate them).

But I noticed something was off, that was enabled on my previous profiles. HPC mode was off, which was on through all those previous tries.

I put the same OC settings I had, multiplier core up to 4.7, put the Vcore Loadline at Extreme, saved and rebooted. Ran Prime98 and I'm sitting at 53c at full load.
