I do have a game running the background, but it doesn't max out my GPU apparently. So GGPU and FAN speeds jumps up and down all the time. Sometimes it holds at max, but it depends on what is at the screen. I stood still ingame and watched the meter for a while an observed this spike pattern.

I probably shouldn't worry too much about it, but this looks unhealthy to my hardware for a longer period (going from 0 to 64% every second).

But maybe it is just a numbers game and the hardware isn't affected physically.

Thoughts?

The core clock variation is normal.
However, the fanspeed change is not.
You should try setting fan speeds to user defined, and set a gradient from 40%on 40degrees to 100% on 70-75 degrees.
See if that solves the problem.
