Howdy everyone. Got a 3ish Year Old 1080 Ti FTW3. It's always ran great and never had any concerns about it until recently. Its age and use is starting to show. Diagnosed some GPU throttling when gaming. Screen blacking out shortly and all. Took awhile to find but turns out it was reaching the 90C limit. So I changed the thermal paste and it's helped quite a bit but it seems pretty warm still. Using default fan curve for all following information, XOC aggressive fan curve does indeed help but would just like some input on the default.
Monster Hunter World: Iceborne
Highest graphics + High Resolution Texture Pack + No Limit Framerate + Borderless Window; getting 60-63 FPS average while afk in Seliana. 75C on the GPU.
FFXIV: Shadowbringers
Maximum Graphics + Borderless Window + 165 FPS Limit; 60-165 FPS while afk in Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks. (heavily variates because of other players in town) up to 76C on GPU.
My monitor layout is triple:
1440p60 | 1440p165 | 1440p60.
I also use Wallpaper Engine in the background.
Case fan layout is 2x140 top exhaust, 1x140 rear exhaust, 280 front radiator pushing. BeQuiet Pure Base 500DX.
Thermal paste used: Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut.
This still seems a bit warm, right? I didn't change the thermal pads but they do seem a quite worn out considering the age of this card. Also having the leaky thermal pad thing. So if this is on the warmer side (which i feel like it is) would switching the thermal pads help? Any other input?
