(specs at the end of post)
Dear community and forum users,
yesterday while checking my corsair link interface after about 10 minutes since powering up the PC, I noticed the GPU fans were spinning, which normally they do only after the card reaches 60° - that is, while under heavy stress. Very strangely, I had been doing nothing up to that point - in fact it turns out that the card is now constantly (and very rapidly) heating up while the pc is on as if it's very actively working (when it shouldn't), and I am trying to find the reason, be it hardware or software related.
What would be your suggestions to identify the issue? I have tried rolling back the drivers as well as performing some basic hardware and software cleaning procedures, but the problems persist. The case is well ventilated, and until 3-4 days ago the GPU would idle at around 30°-33°.
Thank you everyone for your considerations and potential answers, I'll be glad to provide any info I'll be requested.
