Been using my Zotac 3080 for about two years now. Recently, it's been running low on coolant, hovering around 65-67°C, and even small AAA games cause it to spike up to 83°C. The fans seem to be acting like a plane preparing for takeoff inside my case. I own the motherboard in a Fractal Design Torrent with a 180mm front intake, three Noctua 120mm bottom intakes, and one Noctua 140mm exhaust. My GPU was cooling well before this issue started. Now I’m puzzled about why it’s so hot and loud. I’ve tried almost everything except replacing the thermal paste and pads, but I’m not really looking forward to that.
