My GTX 760 has been acting very weird lately. The fan on it doesn't work properly and makes weird noises when running and whenever I'm playing a game it will reach temperatures of 80+ and sometimes even spike up as high as 100+ and then crash my system. I am very scared of using it right now to prevent causing further damage.
It's not the best GPU, I know, but when I bought a pre-built gaming PC 1-2 years ago it came with it and it's enough to run most games pretty well.
I cleaned the dust from it as much as possible and I also changed the thermal paste a few months ago as well.
I think the fact that the fan is not spinning properly may be causing overheating. If I set it at 100% speed it will spin at 600 RPM which is not a good thing I think.
For reference, this is what my GPU looks like: http://media.bestofmicro.com/geforce-gtx-660-geforce-gtx-650,9-X-351573-22.jpg
