Hello Pakgamers!
Im DrSargeX and I would like to introduce myself as , Gaming ,related tech and hardware Review has always been my passion for all my life with helping my fellow hardware enthusiastic with my experience esp posting Videos to my Youtube Channel and through other social media accounts of Facebook and Instagram

My Zotac GTX 970 was overheating to 90c with low clock speeds of 1350 mhz and low FPS in games. After initial troubleshooting it was bad thermal paste that was causing issue so I used Coolermaster mastergel maker thermal paste and repaired my graphics card to bring 1450 mhz clock speeds with 65-68 avg thermals.

There is no one software that will cause your GPU to overheat. Overheating is caused when the GPU is under heavy load from, you guessed it, graphics processing. This means, however, that the temperatures your GPU can reach will vary between applications and gaming may produce different temperatures than video rendering.

Overall, your GPU is designed to run under heavy load, up to 100% load, and even to operate at 100% for long durations because the creators know that people who use high performance graphics cards will be using them to play video games or render video and that they will be in use for extended periods of time.

A game will not kill your computer, but running a GPU under heavy load can expose issues with your GPU cooling system. If you have taken a look at the information panel for your GPU and know that you are having GPU cooling issues, there are steps you can take to mitigate the overheating.
