My GPU temperature is about 35-40 degrees (Celsius) idle with the fans running, but when I launch a game or benchmark, the temperature jumps straight to a stable 80 degrees. This happens with and without overclocking.
I used MSI Afterburner to monitor the temperature of the GPU while doing this and the graph just shows a steep increase in temperature and a steep drop when I close the application. Is this a temperature read fault or is it normal?
I also use MSI to keep the fans running 24/7, probably not necessary but whatever.
Specs:
CPU - i5-6600K
GPU - Nvidia GTX 970
Mobo - Gigabyte GA-Z170-HD3
RAM - 16 GB
