Hello Everyone The Aorus GTX 1080Ti Waterforce Xtreme seems to get very hot whenever I power it on or wake it up. Temperatures rise to nearly 90°C or more, causing the fan to spin faster. At peak heat, screen artifacts appear. But after roughly two minutes, temperatures drop sharply to about 34°C in seconds, and everything normalizes. Once it cools down, the card works fine until the next boot or wake from sleep. I’ve attached MSI afterburner logs for one incident. Someone suggested a pump issue, but it doesn’t make any unusual sounds. Anyone confirm if the pump is faulty or is there another possible explanation? Thanks in advance, Bi0
