Hey guys I'm having a peculiar problem..

I always had an idle temp of max 45c on my Sapphire Vapoor-X 290,but today after I unplugged everything to fix the cables and clean my desk,it idles @ 55-56c..
I have a 2560x1440 monitor connected via dvi and a 1920x1080 tv monitor connected via hdmi..

At first I thought that it was the cable,because I changed the hdmi cable with a longer dvi one..I changed back to the hdmi one but no dice..
I was running this setup with the 14.11.2 drivers , and even though I rolled back to 14.9 nothing changed..I'm running now the Omega drivers with no temp change..
Why is this happening and how can I fix this??It's really eerie seeing my Sapphire logo on my Vapor-X get yellow with almost minimum load :(

Any advice would be highly appreciated
