GPU is overheating ?
A 4000 card is not requiring a repaste as it is less than 3 years old.
I guess I worded it a bit weird. By the issue lying beneath the cold plate, I was still referring to the paste. It may not be filling in all the microscopic gaps like it should be anymore.
Psu just supplies the power, so no. Now, if the gpu is somehow exceeding it's vbios power limit - which it shouldn't, not without modding. If a sensor(s) has failed, the opposite tends to happen; refusing to boost clocks.
There's no 4070Ti Super Dual vbioses on TPU's database at the moment, but you can view your gpu's power limit via Gpu-Z > Advanced tab > Nvidia bios. There should be a default and max values in watts.
You can also monitor power draw on the Sensors tab. By default, the readings are real time, but by clicking the down-arrow, you can choose to view the max value.
It's a card that's just three months old. What are the odds it's a manufacturing issue? Perhaps the paste wasn't applied correctly. Would you like to return or exchange it? At the very least, it should still be covered under warranty.
