Hi, I've had to downgrade my card to my old 660ti and ive found it overheating and black screening my pc when it hits 80 degrees. Note that this isn't a consistent problem it usually sits between 50-70 degrees when being used in the conditions described below.

At the time of almost all the crashes I've been playing WoW on one screen while streaming netflix on my other screen. I have also noticed if i turn off vsync on wow and let it run at max fps the card gets much hotter much more quickly even more so at lower settings where there's higher frames.

My msi afterburner is set with 100 degrees at max temp but it still seems to crash as soon as it hits 80.

My cpu is a i5-4690K which i haven't overclocked yet and my cooler is a Noctua NH-D15. My mobo is an Asus Z97-A.

Sorry if any of this information is useless I'm just trying to put down as much information as possible in hopes of finding a solution outside of "set your fan to 100%" as its ridiculously loud. Thank you for any help you can provide me.
