Everything was going fine with mt GTX 980 just the other day, the idle temps were always from 27-31c. But the EVGA precision X kept asking me to update it so, I did, I upgraded to precision X 3.5.11 ( the latest one). Now for a while my idle temps went to a complete steady 35c. But just now its idling at a 60c. I actually rolled back to a previous Precision X, but that hasn't done anything.
I'm really confused and worried about my GPU now. Everything was fine until I updated to that new precision X. And I don't even know if that can cause an issue.

Edit: just as I finished typing this the idle temps went from 60 to 37. no idea whats happening.
 
Solution
Anyway here is my precision X.

anybody know if there is something wrong here?

Edit: I seem to have solved this. Apparently K-Boost was enabled. My temps at idel are now back to 26-30c at idle.

Thanks for the help guys.
