Gpu has exceeded temperature threshold

[tangoseal]

Hi all,,

I have this rig
Intel core I5-4440 3.1GHz
16GB RAM 1600MHz
Gigabyte B85-HD3
AMD R9 390X gaming MSI 8GB
Seasonic 850FX focus 80+ Gold
120GB ssd for system

I just bought the PSU like a month ago then after some days the gpu started to have normal gaming temperature from 90 to 95 which exceeds normal temperature. I have no experience about why nor how. So please help.

Old card so 2 things stand out.

1.is fan or fans spinning under load?

2. Thermal paste on gpu die needs cleaning and replaced.

To that comment about heatpipes. They only have a drop of deionized water in them. Only gas in them is steam. They can leak but extremely unlikely unless physically damaged.
