Hello community:
I just recently built my first computer in my dorm a day ago and spent time running benchmarks when I noticed that my GPU temperature readings in MSI Afterburner were insane. It was reading 19 Celsius at idle and when bench-marking it soared to 100 Celsius! I used a few other programs to monitor the temp and they returned normal readings of 29 Celsius at idle and 50 Celsius under load (GPU-Z, Corsair Link, Unigine). Naturally I had to feel the GPU for myself and under load it was quite hot, I could only keep my hand on the back plate for 3 seconds before it became painful.
Has anybody else experienced this before with Afterburner? Does anybody with an EVGA 980ti Hybrid have the same problem? The other programs gave the same readouts with more reasonable results, so I'm inclined to believe those.
My short system rundown is a X99 Krait motherboard with an i7-5930k (4.5ghz OC, cooled by H110i GT) and a single EVGA 980ti Hybrid.
Thanks for the help
