I recently upgraded my CPU + MB. After the upgrade my graphics cards, 2x GTX 770 SLI, seem to be quite a bit hotter than they were before. They were usually 35-37 degrees on idle but now, they sit at 45 degrees on idle. This is a screenshot of process explorer showing all the GPU usage on idle

My currents specs are as follow:
i7 5960x
Asus X99-A
32GB GSkill RipJaws4 2400
2x Gigabyte GTX 770 Windforce 2gb
Corsair RM850
CM HAF 912
Windows 7 ultimate

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

That is quite normal as you have more power. Assuming the programs that you have are the same that should happen. You could invest in a powerful fan or cooling system.
