Hi,
I just bought a second hand PNY 980 that I thought would fit my bill but apparently it goes too hot for my system. It idles at around 60 celcius and then pushes up towards 80+ when running WoW:Shadowlands that shouldnt be too hard to run. Fans are constantly on 100%. I picked it apart and it looked clean inside, i also applied new thermal paste but the problem persist. My 970 have no problem running the same setup and runs the game at 21% fan speed and 60 celcius at same settings. What do you think can be wrong? The person i bought it from said it was sparsely used and only used for demo purposes.
