My 3070 has been throttling while playing a game during hot weather. I think I adjusted the throttle temp in Precision X1 in 2021 when I got the game and maybe I adjusted the throttle temp too low. Here is a pic of the setting. Is the temp at the bottom of the graph referencing the Hot Spot Temp or the GPU temp? my Gpu temp has been getting to about 75C, Memory 80C, Hotspot 92C. 

The pic I posted was converted to about 10000 lines of code so I deleted it. Maybe we don't need the graph. 

Thanks for the info!

I reduced the GPU power to 93% and it reduced the temps significantly. Now the temps are 70c/75c/ and 88C, Based on these temps, do you think I should replace the thermal paste and pads? The GPU is three years old and I play video games several hours per day. 

Thanks,
Doug

Sorry I forgot to provide my fan situation in my previous post.

GPU is 70C 
RAM is 75C
Hot spot is 88C 

My fans are controlled by curves in Argus Monitor and they are GPU C +20% so at 80c the fans are at 100%
The case fans are about the same but the output fan is smaller at 120mm so its curve is GPU C + 40%.
All the fans and the interior of the case have been vacuumed recently. There are also two input 140mm fans and one CPU 140mm fan and a big CPU heatsink. 

It has been warm here in California and the inside of my house gets up to about 85F lately. No AC here so I'm at the mercy of the weather. 

The overclock is
GPU +81
MEM +200
I just ran VF Curve Tuner and it passed. 

Thanks again.

Thanks again for the info. MODDIY paste sounds great. I wish shipped from someplace closer than China.  I might get some anyway, at least eventually.

Yesterday I registered my GPU and jumped through the other EVGA hoops so they should be shipping me new pads soon. In the meantime, dropping the voltage helped reduce the temps enough. Also, my GPU fans weren't getting to 100% soon enough so I adjusted the curves a little and that helped too.
