GPU overheating

[kellorz]

Hello

Ive got a asus R7 260X and its starting to overheat. When sitting idle its hitting 60-65C and when I go on a game, it shoots up to 90-100C. Its never done this before

Ive cleaned the dust off it and check my other fans and they all seem normal. My CPU's temps are fine too.

Any ideas on what to do? Ive tried a virus and malware scan too and they came back fine

Thanks

If this is in the wrong forum please let me know and Ill move it

What is the core and memory running at when idle?

Can you check the fan speeds.

Its just standard, ive never overclocked it. Gpu clock is 1075MHz, Clock is 5000MHz

As above - check fan speeds, even a visual check to see if fan is spinning.

If it checks out, time to clean and replace thermal paste. May have expanded causing trapped heat.

Fan speed is at 23% and they are working when I opened the case, Ill look into changing the thermal paste, never did it before.

Thanks

If it's gettng that hot I would have thought the fans would be running at 100% possibly a sensor fault.

Does it run at these speeds even when just sitting on desktop?
