Welcome, Dave..Glad to help.

OK
I know this is off topic, and if I should make a new topic, let me know.
But, I think my video card is going out.
Even the fan at 100% is still steadily going back to being hitchy and stuttery like before I used precisionX to turn the fan always on 95-100%. (in even simple games like Borderlands 2, Quake 3, etc).
It really seems like the Titan X is overheating on me, but its not. :(
 
The room its in never gets above 78F (25.5c).
The PSU is new (last year) EVGA 1300w single rail. (the whole machine is new last year, including the evga Titan X, which has NEVER been oc'ed).
The cpu is water cooled. I have checked both gpu temp and cpu temp, and both are really good. GPU never goes above 70c (I think the most it got was 68c), and the cpu never above 51c.
The case has excellent airflow, and no dust (HAF-X case), and all SSD/HDD's are air cooled.
The monitor is 2560x1440 144hz with Gsync (although I dont use Gsync), and the most strenuos game I have played (before this stuttering) only made it go down to like 39 fps? Most of the time it was always in the 89-110 fps range.
 
So, does anyone know things I can check for (besides unplugging video card and reseating it, which I did. and no dust bunnnies in the machine. checking memory. checking cpu (which has also never been oc'ed before).
I am using windows 8.1.
 
Thanks for any help you can give me.
I dont want to send in my 12gb video memory card and get only an 8gb card back (Mirror's Edge Catalyst can use up to 7.5GB video memory with enhanced visuals on, and I want this machine to last at least 5 years, which is why I went with the Titan X and the 12GB memory on it).
:(
