I just got my EVGA Geforce 3080 XC3 Ultra video card the other day (I definitely lucked out) and noticed that my temps seem to be running hot. I ran through some tests without Precision X1 changing anything and compared to what I'm seeing in reviews and my card with default settings is running much hotter than what the reviews suggest (Idle: 37c, Gaming 74c) from . When I change to the Aggressive Fan Curve I match up with the review Idle and Gaming temps. Is this expected? Is the card not defaulting to the best fan settings to keep within safe temps?  Should I just run with the Aggressive Fan settings and consider myself lucky to have a 3080 and enjoy my new video card? (The performance is amazing, running my top games at 4K at consistent 120fps on a 75" Sony X900H (with unnoticeable blur during gaming (text in OS is another story but hopefully that will be fixed soon.))

    500kb is a Hard limit to one Post for All photos ............ use a Host like Imgur
     
     
    Run GPU-Z & look at the sensor tab ... voltage & watts drawn --> if they are increasing that would explain the higher temps

    Doesn't sound normal.
