Extremely high GPU boot temp

After booting my desktop this morning i noticed something weird in NZXT CAM; My GPU was 95 degrees celsius onder about 5% load. After about 15 minutes this lowered to between 60 and 65 degrees. Reboots keep giving the same behaviour, 90-95 degrees on boot and slowly lowering to slightly above 60 degrees. 

 

The card is an Inno3D 980Ti Black Hybrid card, with the regular fan that came with the radiator mounted in push. Usually it idles around 30 degrees and peaks under load to about 65 degrees with the core clock close to 1500MHz.

 

Any idea what could have caused this and how to fix it?

If it is still under warranty you could try to RMA it, if it is a hybid card it could be the fan, pump, and somehow the waterblock got loose on the card.

Did you over clock it? I'm not super familiar with overclocking but that could be an issue?

Also try another temp monitoring program

System: i7 4790K, Hyper 212 EVO, 16 GB Crucial Ballistix, GTX 1070 Super clocked, MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition, Corsair RM 750, Corsair 750D (with 2 additional 140mm NZXT fans up top for exhaust.)

If its just booting, even without a fan or pump, regardless of the type of cooler, it should never reach those temps. I got rid of cam because of a lot of issues but I don't think temp reading was one of them. I would check with any other program just to be sure.

I couldn't find any more info on that card of yours.

 

Hm, is there a way to check if the pump is working properly? It could be a sad story if it was a dying pump... but like Mick Naughty said, if it just booted it shouldn't be that.

My guess is it could be your PSU, do you have a backup PSU somewhere? maybe you could test your system on that. I know you got a good gold certed PSU but it's still possible that it's faulty.

You can bark like a dog, but that won't make you a dog.

You can act like someone you're not, but that won't change who you are.

 

Finished Crysis without a discrete GPU,15 FPS average, and a lot of heart

 

How I plan my builds -

Spoiler

For me I start with the "There's no way I'm not gonna spend $1,000 on a system."

Followed by the "Wow I need to buy the OS for a $100!?"

Then "Let's start with the 'best budget GPU' and 'best budget CPU' that actually fits what I think is my budget."

Realizing my budget is a lot less, I work my way to "I think these new games will run on a cheap ass CPU."

Then end with "The new parts launching next year is probably gonna be better and faster for the same price so I'll just buy next year."

Test with another program, I have stopped using CAM because it has some serious bugs. I don't think it's a problem on your GPU, 9xx series and 1xxx series have very low temperatures at idle, most of them turn the fan off at idle, some of them, the fans keep off even under load.

Here is the specific card: Inno3d site

 

Tested with GPU-Z, same temps. I have included the sensor logs. Tried running Diablo 3, screens went black after about a minute ingame. I could still hear the game music playing, so the game didn't crash.

 

Booted the pc with only power cable connected, fans were all spinning and temp indication leds changed from green to red in a few seconds. Guessing it is indeed a problem with the pump, which is a bummer as the card is slightly more than 8 months old and ran beautifully up until now (without ever being overclocked).

 

I'll go visit the shop the card came from tomorrow, will update with what they said.
