Still upgrading a 6 year old Dell - getting toasty.

The CPU temp is great. The GPU temp is a little high for continuous use (bad for the caps), but the Nvidia control panel might have a tweak to manually increase fan speed.

How do the caps have anything to do with GPU temperature?
 
77°c is nothing for a Fermi. The caps that potentially could have heat issues are on the far side of the memory ICs, and on reference cards are tantalums on the back of the PCB anyway. Really not a problem.
I don't think I've seen any reports of cap failure on reference or near references Fermis.
