So I have a Gigabyte GT630 and it usually ran about 60C 100% load. But now it takes 5 minutes of playing a weak title like CSGO and it goes 100C. It's a weak card and there should't so much heat.

My cable management is great. I clean my case weekly. I have reapplied thermal paste. I've cleaned out the heatsink.

I'd guess that it's a case of broken heat sensor, but at idle it goes 35C and when it reaches 100C, touching the back of the card, where the GPU is, is impossible, since the card is actually running at 100C.

Hello... 1) Are you using any APPs interfering with the normal operation of the GPU pre-programed/firmware operation? Remove them and re-test.
2) Fans are a Low cost mechanical/electrical device... they will wear out or Lose performance. (time for a New one Or upgrade/MOD?)
3) Your GPU I would call a "Office Gpu"... "GTX" models are designed for 3D/graphics/gaming Apps.

4) removing a cover from your case... will allow more cooling air into your system.

Fans are used to increase thermal dissipation and reduce material costs... once you hit 100% fan speed you have maxed out your thermal disapation of the system... also any "un-balanced" fan running at 100% will wear out very...
