Hi guys, my 760 has randomly started to overheat and causes my fps in any games to drop from around 60-90 to 3-6fps. I adjusted the fan speed to 80% which causes the temperature to drop from 70C to 63C. This didnt change much and my fps sits at 3-6 when its overheating and it is extremely annoying. This only started happening yesterday and I have had the card for almost 2 months.

Can't remember off the top of my head, but will check when I get home (had to run out for some milk). I was looking into purchasing some new fans, so now atleast I now have an excuse.
 


Pick up a can of compressed air, you can't just run that stuff through the dishwasher... Not that I had a girlfriend that tried that...
