Hey everyone!

I got my hands on a i5 6600K & now my MSI GTX960 4gb (Factory Overclocked) finally shows his real power.
But the temperatures are way higher then they were on my old motherboard with the i7-860.
The ambient temperature in my room are around 30C since we are having a heat wave right now.

So my guestion is,

When I'm playing Battlefield 4 ultra right now the GPU easily goes up to 75-80C
While my CPU stays pretty cool 50-60C

Is this considered normal since my GTX 960 can finally run at 100% power without bottlenecking?
Or is there something wrong? Like should I reseat the GPU or am I just being crazy about this?
 
Solution
For the hot environment that you have, those temps are about right.
Just make sure that you have good airflow going through your chassis.
