Hi I have a Evga gtx 760 2gb Sc that sometimes goes mental and will set the fans to 100% even tho the temp is 30-35C.
Every couple of days it will do this, and the only way to make it stop is by opening my pc case and push it into the pci slot, or bend it slightly to the sides.
This has been going on since I bought it (july 2013), but before I just had to do it every month or so, now its allmost daily.
Ive had it in 3 different setups lately and the same thing happens in all 3, with my backup gpu (Asus gtx 650ti) it doesent.
 
Is there a fix? Its so annoying that I just want to buy a new one, idk if trying to RMA it is worth a shot tho.

    Inspect the fan header on the PCB, make sure the fan wire is securely connected. If the wire is securely connected and it continues to be an issue I'd RMA it.

    This would be something covered under warranty.  If the replacement card also does this, then it would be time to suspect either the motherboard, psu, or the install of Windows.

    Thanks for the replies, Ive checked the fan header and it seems ok.

    I am 100% sure its the gpu since Ive tried it in 3 different setups. (I7 920/Asus Rampage III Extreme, I5 4690k/MSI Z97 Gaming 3, Intel Pentium G3258/MSI H97I AC)
     
    It can be my old motherboard that have done this. I got it from a friend who was tinkering inside his case while the pc was running, and he had to replace the gpu and psu.
    But my old GTX 275 was running fine for like 5 years on that system until the fan died and it fried.

    Yes, you've certainly done your testing, so I'd also agree it's the card.  Time to contact support to get it replaced.
