gpu temperature higher than average during idle.

hi guys, my gpu temperature is higher (50c-60c) than normal (35c-45c). i already clean dust in my desktop n use replace thermal paste.at the same time, i rearrange the desktop for good airflow (the airflow come from front to back), but nothing change. my room also have air cond.

what should i do?

here is my spec:

 

OS: Windows 10 pro

Processor: Intel core-i7 4790

Motherboard: MSI Gaming 7

GPU: MSI Gaming AMD R9 280X 3G

PSU: CoolerMaster 1050w Silent hybrid

CPU Fan: CoolerMaster V6GT

RAM: Kingston Hyper X 1600Mhz 8GB

HDD:

       Western Digital Black Caviar 1TB (main HD)

       Western Digital Green 2TB

       Western Digital Passport 1TB (External)

       Seagate Goflex 500GB (External)

       Seagate Black  160GB

Casis : HAF922

Maybe there's some change in software (drivers, programs etc.) than puts a little load on the gpu at idle.

Its fine. If under load you are below 85 it's all good. My old 970 had a similar sudden jump in temps a few days after i bought it.

This is because AMD love to make toasters

I remember once i had the same issue when my GPU had the high temperature on Idle than on Full load. The issue i figured out was malware/virus program that was running in background and using my GPU. So make sure to check this too.

complete opposite here my gpu is a cool 27 degrees right now but itll ramp all the way up to 80 degrees Celsius in games

Check the airflow in your case. High idle temps can mean you have a low pressure zone by the intake of your GPU.
