Recently my friend replaced his GPU on his relatively old computer. As soon as he did this his computer started to get extremely every time he starts a game. His motherboard idles at a consistent 61 C, his CPU runs at 60-70 or more when he is in game, and his GPU runs at 60-100 when he is in game. Is there anything he can do to fix these heat issues? I know nothing about fans or cases...
