High idle temperatures / Fan speed issue with XFX Radeon RX 480

Hi there. I started using this card recently, and it didn't have any immediate issues. Upon starting up today, I noticed that the idle temperature on the desktop was around 45 degrees, normally it sits around 25-30.

Upon starting up a game (World of Warcraft), after a few minutes that temperature shot up to over 90 degrees and shut the computer down. I took a look at the fan settings on Wattman and it showed this:

Obviously, the fan isn't running quite that fast, however they are certainly spinning.

Please let me know if there's any more information you need.

Thank you very much for your assistance
