I do not know if this is the right section to ask, but it does involve my graphics card.

My question is, im trying to play games like ARK: Survivor Evolved, and 7 Days to Die, and GTA V, i had an integrated intel hd 4400 graphics card be4 i got my new Nvidia GeForce GTX 750ti and now when i play these games my computer sounds like its heating up to much and makes the fans speed up and make alot of noise, and ARK and 7 Days i played be4 swtiching cards and they didnt make my comp make alot of noise, and now they do, with GTA the back side of my computer does indeed get really hot, not with the other 2 tho just warm, but the noise seems louder in those games, what im looking for is an answer to how to fix this or if its normal and wont cause any damage if i continue to play these games. Note: ark and 7days are on same exact graphics settings in game as be4 so no change there, did change them to lowest after noticing the noise/heat, and i play GTA using geforce experience with its optimize option.

my Specs:

GPU: GeForce GTX 750ti

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4130 CPU @ 3.40GHz <-- thinking about getting a Intel Core i7-4770 Haswell Quad-Core 3.4 GHz LGA 1150 84W BX80646I74770 Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116900

A dedicated GPU like the 750 Ti is going to get a lot hotter than Intel HD 4400 so the fan(s) on the graphics cartd are going to be louder. If you are worried you could download speccy and monitor your temps. But with speccy it becomes a bit tricky to monitor them unless you play in windows or have two monitors. You could use GPU-Z to monitor your GPU temps. It will log them to a file so you can view them afterwards.

Just go on a demanding map on whatever game you are playing, play for a few minutes, then upload the log file to Zippyshare or Dropbox or some other similar site and post the link.
