Recently my gpu started to get really hot, the fan speed is locked at 100% and i noticed that even if the gpu load is at 1% - 5% the temperatures are around 95 degrees
specs:
AMD FX-8350
8,00GB Dual-Channel DDR3
ASUS. M5A97 R2.0
Radeon R9 280x 3072MB
some notes:
-both fans on the cooler are working
-the card has recently been cleaned although the termal paste has not been replaced
-every other component is working as it should
-the drivers for the card are up to date
My question is, is the gpu faulty and should just be replaced or is it just that i should replace the thermal paste and that would make all the difference ?
