Hello all,
I hope this is the correct category for my question (apologies if not). Basically, I am worried that my PC is overheating while playing games. To give context to my question, below is my build prior to my problem starting:
Case: NZXT S340
CPU: i5-7600K
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master - Hyper 212 EVO
GPU: ASUS GE Force GTX 1070 8GB Dual Series Video Card
MB: ASRock Fatal1ty Z270 Gaming K6 ATX LGA 1151
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z 16GB DDR4 3200
HD: WT Caviar Blue 1 TB
SSD: Kingston UV400 120GB
PSU: Thermaltake - Toughpower Grand RGB 750W 80 Gold+ Fully Modular

So with this setup the most demanding games I was playing were PUBG, and Ghost Recon: Wildlands. Played both at 1080p and didn't really have a problem with CPU/GPU temps (highest the CPU got to was 60C and GPU 70C).
I thought about my build and decided I wanted to game at 1440p, so I upgraded my GPU to the MSI GE Force GTX 1080 (it was just an extra $100 so why not) and got myself a 1440p monitor to go with it. Now when I play PUBG or Wildlands, I notice my CPU temp reaching 70-74C and the GPU reaching 80-82C. I did OC the GPU with the MSI gaming app at first, but stopped it after I noticed the temps getting higher than the previous norm, but the CPU/GPU remained just as hot.
So my question is: are these temperatures something I should be worrying about? I would really like to not fry my PC so any help is much appreciated.
PS: I did not change the stock fans that came with the case or added any additional fans, (if that influences anything)
