Gpu temp problems, memory clock stuck at max speed

Hi, I own r9 380 4gb sapphire nitro card and I noticed that my idle temp is like 75°C I checked is it full of dust, but no, case is clean, and so is card, there is little to no dust on it, I even cleaned with compressed air to be on the safe side, but it didn't help, card is maybe a month old and when it came it didn't have any problems, it started to happen few days ago, this happens even if ambient temperature is below 20°C (I turned of heating in that room just to test it, I did manage to get to 50°C with custom fan profile using msi afterburner, but now fan is between 35 and 40% while idle, card is on stock settings and amd overdrive is disabled, I didn't overclock it at all, what might be the problem?

Update: I just noticed that my gpu memory clock is stuck at max speed, maybe that's causing these temps

Update 2: Ok, now I managed to identify the problem, it was indeed stuck memory clock, I underclocked it to where it should be on idle and my temps are great again (stable 40 without fans on idle), now my only question is how do I fix it?

When I do that it gets stuck at 1450mhz and I get high idle temps, I need a solution so it automaticaly underclocks memory speed when it doesn't use it like it did before, so my temps stay normal while idle, it just gets stuck, while core clock works just fine
