MSI afterburner broke my GPU temps

HypedKid

So few days ago I decided to download MSI afterburner to monitor, because nzxt cam wasn't always working... When I installed and started playing games, I noticed that my gpu temp goes over 73°c ( my max before was always 65°c on same games) I tried to uninstall it, but I still have that problem

Just installing afterburner wouldn't cause GPU temps to go up. That doesn't even make sense. Temperature is variable. If it's hot outside/in your room it will be higher than winter.

The only thing afterburner could have done is mess with your fan curves, thus resulting in potentially higher temps, although simply restarting your computer should set it back to default once afterburner is uninstalled.
