Hello again .

Is this Normal or just a insane values . somebody explain plz


when i start windows the grahpic card keep using 400MHZ of core in 45C temprature .
Then after starting playing games like Skyrim the core up to 1334MHZ in 73C it reached 75 then it descrease core clock to 900MHZ with low RAM . this appearing around only 7 minutes . Is this normal or theres something wrong .... am using Evga precision X App


any ideas how to reduce these crazy temps ?

This is not the answer for my question , i need a option to unlock locked limits
 
Well we need to know if the is anything weird first. What is the exact brand for your 960? Probably better for you to contact vendor support. Even if the card reach temp limit (for boost) it should not throttle the card down to 405mhz. The only possible cause that can make the card to throttle that much is from overheating, like the card already operating at temperature limit for the card which usually around 95c-98c for nvidia card. By default nvidia card should start throttling down when the temperature reach 84c but even so it will still operate at full 3d clock (without boost).
