Hello,
My GPU is overheating and I’m unsure why. Could it be due to the prebuilt case’s airflow? Is it just my GPU getting too hot, or are other components also affected? Or are all parts heating up together? If I play games that demand strong CPU and GPU performance, my GPU temperatures reach 100+ degrees (hotspot). My PC performs much worse than PCs with lower specifications.

PC Specs:
CPU: i7 11700k
GPU: HP Geforce 3080
2x 1tb SSD
750 watt PSU
4x8 gb RAM, DDR4, 3200 MT/S
Temperatures idle:
CPU Core temperatures (DTS?) 50, (Enhanced?) 54.
GPU: 35, with hotspot 45.
SSDs around 50.
Temperature while gaming:
CPU: core temperatures (DTS?) 70, (Enhanced?) 78
GPU: 75-85, hotspot 95-102 degrees.
SSDs: around 60
Fans are running, dust cleaned.
I also noticed some moisture on my motherboard. Could you please assist me in determining whether the issue lies with my GPU or if I need a new case, motherboard, and improved cooling? Or is there another bottleneck causing my FPS drops? My friend suggested checking if repasting the GPU is necessary, but he mentioned it’s likely because the GPU is only 3-4 years old. Thank you for your help.

Two things:
1) Make and model PSU? Age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)? History of heavy gaming or video editing?
2) This: "I also saw some damp on my motherboard" : are you able to take a couple of photographs showing "the damp"?
If so, do so and post the photographs here via imgur (

).
Or at least try to provide more information: e.g., location on the motherboard, colors, nearby components, etc..

Oil seepage from the thermal pads beneath the VRM occurs, but it's safe. It can be cleaned using alcohol. During operation, the gap between the GPU core and hot spot is usually about 20°C or less when under load. There may be insufficient airflow, so regular dusting is advisable.
