Now i have purchased hyper tx3 and my highest temp goes down from 71 to 59 degree C. but my graphic card goes from 60 to 70 degree C. it's because of my new sound card it's ASUS - Xonar DG 5.1 ,, i have simple cabinet ,, can this type of heat from my graphic card can damage my sound card if yes what should i do..
 
70°C is an OK temp for GPU under load and should not damage anything, your CPU temp is OK as well but it is apparent that the sound card is restricting airflow to the GPU. Do you have any case fans in your cabinet or the possibility to add them?
