Hello guys. I have a GTX 580 and i didn't use my PC for 1.5 years. Prior to this it was working fine, but now that i turned it on again is overheating a lot(my room temp is around 35 degree C). It idles at 60 degree C if i don't manually touch the fan and when i play games It started overheating to 95 degree+ within 5 minutes and it even crashed once. I run a kinda open rig(i have a case but it has only the base structure made of metal nothing else). I had installed the newest Nvidia driver and i decided to get an older one. When i got the older one the gaming temps got a bit lower like 3-5 degrees, and they started capping instead of just overheating and overheating, also i noted on the driver i had before getting the older one, when i was running WoW on max settings it was running smoothly at first and when it started overheating i was loosing FPS(from 60 went to 55 and so on within 2 minutes it went 15 FPS). Yes i have cleaned my PC and GPU thoroughly. Any ideas what should i do to keeps temp lower? Is mu GPu damaged? If i RMA Evga what might they send my way? Thanks in advance. Atm i got in my rig:
