Are you using fan controller software like MSI Afterburner or EVGA PRECISION or the default that comes with windows?

 

Also did you update your graphics driver into the 400's?

If so -being as the card is a 700 series model you could go back to driver 399.24 -since those older cards have less support in newer drivers.
