Graphics Card Suddenly Ramps up to 100%

I have a MSI GTX 1050 Ti Gaming X and for some reason it will always ramp up to 100% usage and reaches 85-92 degrees celsius.

I would understand that it would do this if I was playing a game that was very GPU intensive, except I am not playing such a game, I am playing Lego Batman 3 at 2715x1527 on a 1080p monitor.

The fans will spin up to the max RPM which is very loud and annoying.

I'm afraid that because of the high heat that the GPU could stop working or just crash my computer (never dealt with this kind of issue before)

 

Thank you.

 

PS. THis is what my PC looks like,IMG_20170821_022516.thumb.jpg.c038602d0b9fe1a9b2387e479f7c5d5f.jpg

There's no restriction on airflow, the cup is supporting the GPU so it doesn't sag, and my room is below 20 degrees celsius.

Still within warranty? Send it back and let them replace the thermal paste for you.

 

If it's not, then do it yourself.

Are you sure that its the thermal paste? It just happened today and before this it was fine. Never heard of a cards thermal paste SUDDENLY stop functioning properly...

If it's anything like the MSI card I got, then the paste is pretty shit, and the cooler wobbles a lot, I'd have to assume they fixed the wobbly cooler, but thermal compound failing like this is pretty unusal, can you use the PCIe render test in GPUz to see how hot it gets? That should only be a light 40% load but it'll tell you if its a cooling issue from thermal comnpound. Post a screenshot like this.

Heat production of a card shouldn't suddenly increase either. Unless the fan blades snapped off, it's unlikely the cooler itself has a problem (you mentioned that it can still go full blast). That's why I suspect the thermal paste. When it dries to a certain point, it passes a lot less heat then it otherwise should.

Here's the pic. The program in the middle is CAM, it's used as a RGB controller and for basic system stas.

Odd given that the card is fairly new. I bought it around February 2017.

That looks almost normal, though 66°C for 35% fan speed is a bit of an odd one when it reports 1178 RPM, I'd say there is something fishy there, the render test wouldn't produce that much heat, RMA the card if you can. 

Yours faithfully

Bad luck then. Also update your video card drivers.
