Problems with Gigabyte GTX 1080 G1

[Geexile]

Hello guys,
I have very strange problem with my Gigabyte GTX 1080 G1,for which i need help. I notice from a few weeks now that my Idle temperatures are higher than usual , because the fans don`t stop spinning at all as usual . At first i did not pay much of attention because i had a lot work . But now i started to investigate the problem , and it seams that my GPU in IDLE is always around 48-49 C* .Which is way higher for this GPU, i had in the beginning around 37C* Idle . So i stated wondering why this is happening , there is not overclock at all , its just default setting all together. And then i notice something very very strange , no matter that i don`t have any overclock at all , my GPU voltage is higher than it should be , its 0.862 V and it should be 0.625 V . I checked on many website where they have screenshots of the Gigabyte Extreme Engine settings , and everywhere the voltage is 0.625 . So i`m guessing this is why the GPU is heating up , but there is no gain in frequency or anything and there is no overclock , how this could have happen ? What is causing it ? And is it possible this voltage rise to damage my GPU ?
Thanks in advance

Something is most likely using your GPU, at least a couple of percent of it, meaning that it will not clock down properly when idleling. I see that GPU-Z sais zero percent load, but try closing that gigabyte software, and check if any other applications are running that could require acces to the GPU.

Newest driver installed?

Just noticed that profile 1 is activated. Are there any options where you can set the operating range of the GPU? Like from 200 - 2000 Mhz?

Yeah profile 1 is the default one . Well i tried everything , i tried to stop all programs and apps that i have on startup . But nothing helps , the GPU does not go under 0.862 . It goes only above that when i put load on it . I closed the gigabyte software as well , that did not helped as well. It happened before around 1 month , when i decided to update my mobo bios to the last version available . Don`t know if that could be causing issues , don`t know if there is something in mobo bios controlling the voltage of the GPU ..... however except that i don`t think i changed anything else.

Okay i found the problem, so just to write it here if someone has a problem like that .
Apparently was driver issue , the GPU was locking at 1696hz even when its in idle , no matter what you do it stays at that frequency and temps are around 50C* or goes higher when its under load . So before some weeks i was adjusting Nvidia control panel settings , and i put prefer maximum performance under global settings ,which lock the card to be at maximum all the time . So when you put the setting to Optimal Power and restart the PC , everything should be back to normal.
