EVGA 660ti running at 100%, always

Hardware GPU
#1

My EVGA 660ti used to clock down when I was not gaming. Now it just runs at the max always.

 

I uninstalled Company of Heros 2 beta, which was the only thing I have recently installed. I reinstalled drivers. I reinstalled Precision X. When I say reinstall, I mean unistall and reinstall fresh.

Still, no difference. I unistalled any crap I could find, still nothing. I have restarted my computer a dozen times today with all of this uninstall and reinstall buisiness, yet still my GPU is at 48 degress C with my clock at 1136. I had to turn off my OC because I felt uncomfotable with it always on. 

 

I HATE this. There is no reason for my card to be like this. Does anyone know how to fix this?

use precision x to manually set the downclock and upclock settings. I think the card was set to 100% usage and was saved to the cards memory. Maybe someone knows how to reset the cards memory or firmware?

try just hitting the default button on the precision x?
