Ok so I've recently upgraded my GPU from an amd 7850 to a GTX 780 TI (its in the exact same position as the previous one), Installed a T2420 monitor alongside my existing 1920x1080, installed drivers, replaced my stock cpu fan with a coolermaster seidon 120v (didn't help) and my cpu is reaching 70-100 C without me doing anything except browsing the internet.
This is how it looks Screenshot by Lightshot
my pc temps after idling for an hr: Screenshot by Lightshot
So before I re-apply thermal paste, reinstall cpu fan, reformat, replace cpu, or do anything, I would like to ask you good people of tom if im doing anything wrong, can this problem occur if i apply too much or too little thermal paste, is the cpu fan positioned incorrectly as you can see from the picture, can it be a software issue, is the new gpu and monitor causing too much load, etc.
my pc is 1.5 years old and my cpu is an i5 3570 btw.
im trying to gather as much info as possible so please say as much as you can.
Thanks in advance!
