Gtx 980 SC AXC 2.0 Temperature Issues

[eXplosion]

My computer specks:

 

 

Motherboard: ASUS X99-S MOBO

CPU: Intel Core i7 5820K s2011 v3 (Overclocked to 4.2GHz)

RAM: DDR4 VengLPX 32GB 2666Mhz

Cooling: Corsair H100 (Noctua Fans)

GPU: 4GB EVGA GTX980 SC ACX2.0 PCIE 

PSU: Corsair RM750W GOLD

Monitor: 27 Asus PG278Q ROG Swift GSYNC

 

 

I have a issue with the graphics card after upgrading my monitor to27 Asus PG278Q ROG Swift GSYNC when I play a game for example 2 hours then when I exit the game game the temperatures of the graphics card  stays when idle 62C ( I do allow the graphics card to cool down at least 30 minutes)  but usually when I was not playing any games the temperature was max 49C. With my old monitor when I was playing a game for a long time after exiting then allowing the card to cool down at least 30 minutes the temperatures on the graphics card where dropping to 41- 49C. I am running a 2k res and 85hz refresh rate on the desktop ( Because I heard that if you have a 144hz on the desktop when idle that can increse the card temps). All my graphics card drivers are updated and all the components drivers as well. 

 

So my questions are is there something wrong with the card?

There's an issue with Maxwell cards that forces max power draw when using a 120+Hz display

ohh so even if I have lowered the hz refresh rate that will not do any good?

lowering the refresh rate does nothing - monitor is still 120/144 - it just only presents 85 concurrently

Checkmate for nv fanboys . Now the cards should have title dead silent because imao the temps are like old rads
