Disappointed with the PC performance in Counterstrike 2?
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
I noticed that my GPU runs around 1800mhz but then gets very hot (around 87 degrees) and the clock drops to 1500mhz.
Maybe you should check this; how hot is too hot for a RTX 2080? :: DOOM Eternal General Discussions
My GPU is in the 70s.

What model of your case are you using? You might try removing the front panel to see if temperatures lower—if they do, then the case could be the problem.
I've included my case in my spec.

Oh well, now I get it. My frontpanel isn't installed and has been for a while. But the side panel is still there, so the case is closed? Should I try removing it or is that not a good idea? Maybe changing the thermal paste and pads on the GPU could help since it's about five years old. Do you think that might be the issue?
the liquid cooler is positioned at the top as an exhaust component
Yes, it is possible. There are options available to monitor the temperature inside the case. You can use a standard temperature gauge placed inside to check the heat level. It makes sense.
there are sensors embedded in parts of your motherboard, CPU, GPU, etc., that provide real-time temperature readings.
however, there are numerous third-party temperature monitors available.
when the front panel is removed and the top is positioned to direct exhaust air, there should be ample airflow through the system.
but if the situation remains limited by warm recycled air;
you might increase the fan speed, remove the side panel, or consider a more suitable case.
with dried out or evaporated thermal pads it wouldn't normally just suddenly reach 87°.
the temperature would consistently be higher than expected and it would begin to rise in that manner as soon as processing started.
you can always swap them out whenever you wish,
but many end up facing an even worse outcome because they can't match the same level of thermal protection the card originally provided.
my secondary system uses a GTX 1080 Ti that has been used for gaming over its lifetime and it still operates smoothly with comfortable temperatures, even though it's older than yours.
