I have an EVGA gtx 1080. It usually won't go over 69-71 max when overclocked and gaming. recently it started to go to the high 70s and even low 80. When idle it's at 3-5% utilization (according to task manager) and is 35c when fans are at 40%. When fans are off (as they are when The computer is turned on with no precision xoc running) it starts at 45c. I've never had these numbers before so I was wondering what could've happened.
Last year I opened the card to put EVGA's thermal pads on it, as EVGA recommended. But everything was ok 2 months ago. I thought it might be a virus but the card isn't utilized fully by some program. Do I need to open it up and re apply thermal pads and paste?
