Hello!
I'm not tech-savvy so bare with me.

I have a 750 GTX EVGA, which i've had for 3 years now and recently the temperatures have been hitting 95 degrees on games like Hearthstone or League of legends all of a sudden.
It causes my FPS to drop significantly (i think)

On Idle with the fans at 40% it sits at 55-60 degrees

I replaced the thermal paste from the stock with a coolermaster compound E1 yet the high temperatures remain.

I've also cleaned out the PC thoroughly with compressed air.

Does anyone have any thing i could try?

Thanks so much

If it's an overclocked version the lifespan is drastically shortened by the OC. As chips age they require more and more voltage to run properly. More voltage = more heat. Might be time for a new GPU.

You should also make sure that the fan is actually spinning, it could have gone out and is reading the speed even though it isn't actually spinning.

Lot's of potential problems with cards coming to the end of their life.
