So recently when I play games such as overwatch, ark etc, my pc gets really noisy, and the fans on my 760 goes to max rpm and it gets up to 78 degrees (celsius) and its around 41 degrees when its idle. And it's almost irritating how loud it gets. My chassi is rather small so maybe that's a problem?

I've been thinking about a solution to this but I cant see how upgrading the fans on the cpu and the chassi can do something about it. Is there a way to lower the temperature of my graphics card?, thanks!

It seenpms like you say it was quieter before? I suspect it is dust. Clean out the dust and do a repaste. Wipe the fans too. Open up the GPU and blow air through it, while it is off. Learned that the hard way.

Though you mind it as hot, the temps are fine even for a GPU. It won't decrease its life or anything. Gpus are generally safe under 85-90C. My 7970 idles around 36 and when under load, gets to 80 and stays there. Though it is a hot card.
The 760 is a relatively cool card and you can clean it. It should run cooler. Also set a custom fan curve so it's fans run at 100% when it hits 70 or 75, helps cool it, bust doesn't help with noise, only temps

I agree however the thermal pads and paste on GPUs rarely if ever goes bad. This is often cited as an issue and it really isn't that stuff lasts a lot longer than anyone thinks. Taking it apart can be tricky (also in some cases without new thermal tape you have nothing) and can be even trickier to put back together correctly.

However cleaning the hell out of it is an excellent idea.

In my experience that isnt true. Ive seen quite a few Fermi and Kepler series cards require new paste due to it drying up and getting disturbed and no longer conducting very well.
