Recently bought the NZXT S340 case. I currently have 2 intake fans at the front and 1 out back and 1 out top of case. I have all my fans on the speeds they normally are currently, and CPU temperature is perfectly normal. On idle, no matter what fan speed on intake or GPU, it IDLES at 45-48C. 10 degree difference from before. I tested my temps on GTA 5 max settings. Before the upgrade I averaged 60-63C on both GPU and CPU. Now my CPU hovers at 60C with the GPU sitting at 70-73C. What do I do???

Run it in the background, do not fully close the process.
It always needs to be left running in your system tray in order to apply the profile.
This should solve your problem.

Those temperatures are perfectly fine for your GPU in this scenario.
The MSI 980ti always provided mid-high 60s low 70s temps under gaming load, and especially with such a case in which the airflow is not great, even with fans, I can't say i'm surprised.
The best course of action at this point is to ramp up your fan curve on your graphics card by 5% or so and see what the differences in temps are.

That's the thing, I increased overall fan curve by 15%. 0 difference. Put intake fans at 100% and GPU fans at 100% lowest I got was 44c, moving from 46c with normal fan speeds. Used to just hang around 60-65 load both GPU and CPU, but the CPU gets to 70c. I know it's not that bad for it, but it worries me. It worries me because no matter what fan speeds, it pretty much stays the same, it doesn't move.
