@Qanatoz, could you help me clarifying what do you mean by checking hardware sensors? Also, do you mean when did I install the graphics card to my pc? If so, around end of May, 2018.
Wattman - since I am a bit unsure how to read the settings I have attached a screenshot which should clarify everything with wattman.
Cooler on your VGA Failing. You need to maintain it or bring it to service if you can't. Also I suspect viruses check it with Malwarebytes Cybersecurity for Windows, Mac, Android & iOS | Malwarebytes .
Take a look how it should be when you dont play games.
Activity near 0%, all clock speed at lowest. Temperature at 30-40 C.
PM If you want me look at your system with teamviewer.
I would set everything back to 'factory default' settings...then reboot your computer.
These settings are for game profiles. Game profile settings will override the 'Global' settings.
Change two things only...leave everything else at default/automatic.
Change your 'speed/temperature to manual and lower the temperature slider to about 80c.
Raise the power limit to the highest + value...slide it all the way to the right.
Click apply at the top of the page.

Reset to defaults is a right choice.
But raising power limit when something mining crypt coins you can burn vga card. His VGA already throttling because of overheat so power limit +75% can raise temperature to 90 C and PC will reset.
Also stock cooler can maintain 60-65 degree with furmark running for 30+ minutes, if not then your cooler need maintenance (dust cleaning or else).
First and must You need to find out why you GPU under 100% load when you do not play games. I suggest to check system processes for high(100%) gpu/cpu load and shut them down.
If they not shutting down use anti-malware soft(from link above premium trial can be used). If nothing help from those bring PC to service. If you want to turn off throttling do under-voltage, do not raise power-limit.
Look at mine system 1224 maximum frequency for gpu core, if I do not raise power-limit it will throttle and lower frequency, but with under-voltage you don't need to raise power-limit.
Cooler used with my gpu - WINDFORCE 2X light (solid AL cooler, no copper heat pipes) semi passive cooler with 0 rpm when it is possible.
Mine GPU not best for undervoltage - ASIC 58% only. If your asic higher you can run you gpu core with voltages lower then mine.
And what I done for this result:
Factory Voltage:
721 725 806 856 900 943 1043
My voltage:
721 725 765 806 836 880 905 +10%powerlimit
Of-course your voltages may be different. You need to test system for stability(in game and without working at all). Change voltages from top to lowest one by one. Test one if it unstable raise +10mv - if stable do next voltage like this.
After 2021 update it start crushing games. everything work fine if you uninstall driver
I started to hate the behavior of this company, they are completely ignoring all the complaints
I install 2019 driver it start working no crushing. but thanks for their interfere with driver folder and now it start crushing
but I like to buy nvidia now
interfere
