Hi. I've been running my Asus RTX 3060 LHR with an Intel i5-12400F and a 600-watt MSI PSU on a Windows PC for about two years without any problems. But temperatures keep climbing to as high as 80°C, and the GPU hotspot hits 95°C even when only 50 watts are being used. The good thing is my case has solid ventilation. Screenshots of Furmark and HWMonitor are attached. I'm hoping we can resolve this.

Consider using HWinfo64 or GPU-Z instead of HWMonitor. The high load and 1900MHz usage point to a possible TDP error, particularly when running Furmark.

These popular companies often rely on inexpensive thermal paste. Probably because it’s the standard, right? What kind of issue are you experiencing?

It's completely feasible, hwmonitor isn't trustworthy and firmware is just pointless garbage.

You just started your PC and completed the Heaven benchmark for a short time, which helped reduce temperatures.

HWinfo64 indicates less than 1W for 8-pin, possibly pointing to a sensor or sensor-related problem... GPU CORE OUTPUT POWER is capped at 123W, which feels reasonable given the FPS, load, clocks, and voltages... Such values don’t make sense at 50W.
