Has anyone had this happen out of the blue? Was gaming with some buddies and my son noticed the evga kingpin logo flashing red and the oled displaying overheat, I open PX1 and for some reason it was drawing more power then it ever has. 

Water pump still working?

Pull up something like HWInfo64 and monitor your temps. A flashing overheat warning won’t tell you anything without data to tell you why the card is flashing an overheat warning.

Once you have some data to know what is overheating, you can go from there to figure out how to correct it.

Well lets see with it does with 3D mark

This run was gpu temp max 80.3c gpu memory junction temp 84.0c and gpu hot spot temp was 95.3c

When you say drawing more heat than it ever had, what do you mean by that? How much have you seen it draw normally and how much was it drawing in this instance?
 
Also what's your case layout like? Where's the rad for Kingpin located and is it set to intake air or blow air out of the case?

currently 44c where normal is at 32-34c idle temp

Out of curiosity, why would you have the top fans “sucking air in” instead of having the heat rise, like it would naturally, and use the top fans to blow that heat out?

With top fans sucking air in, you would also be attempting to blow fresh air past the ram, past the cpu, around the GPU, and then back into the fan that cools the vram and vrm on the GPU, all while going “against the grain” for how air would naturally flow.

Maybe I misunderstood what you were saying, and if I did, I apologize.

Fans push air with much more force than the force that causes hotter air to rise, which is a result of colder denser air displacing the hotter air. So in a forced air system it's is almost entirely irrelevant that the hotter air will rise if left alone. It isn't being left alone, fans are pushing air, hot cold or otherwise, in the general direction in which they are pointed.
 
More important than if that air is being pushed down in the case from the radiator is what the overall airflow of the case is.
 
OP you said Fractal Design XL, but that's not a specific case. Is it a Fractal Define 7, Meshify, Meshify 2, something else?
 
You're very light on specific usable details. A bunch of screenshots to temps tells us that the GPU is getting hotter than it should and hotter than it used to. We know that.

Convection(hot air rising) is a very weak force and often way overrated in PC cooling.  Even the cheap low quality case fans are much more powerful than convection.  Any positive pressure PC case will overcome convection from PC components.

With fans moving air as they do, normal convection philosophy goes out the window.  It's not against the grain unless other fans in the case are oriented in a manner that sees them also putting air into the case.

However, with the testing I've done, it's best to put the CPU AIO if present as intake / front of the case and GPU AIO exhausting out the top.  Not so much because of stale air convection philosophy but because the GPU creates a lot of heat and should be dumped out of the case keeping it off the mobo / ram / etc.
