Good Luck and hope this gets solved quickly

It’s resolved for now. Card is working fine at the moment. If it gets hot again I’ll try some thermal grizzly kryonaut, or maybe even some kingpin cooling kpx before rma’ing.

So I"m not sure about the paste you did have on there, but I was debating giving KPX a try and was looking up comparisons to Kryonaut which I've been using.  Found some info that apparently Debauer (spelling?) has said Kryonaut on GPU's is expected to be replaced after a year.  If true that might explain my hotspot temp also seeming to be a bit higher under OCCT type loads than I remember.

Before I repasted it was the original paste. Not sure what the original paste was, but it was really good until it got burnt off. When I repasted there was hardly any of it left on the die.

try honeywell ptm7950 its pretty good

May give it a try when it starts to hit 95c again.

Don't waste your time with liquid metal. Gigabtye 30 series cards about a year ago or so were dying left and right. RMA it. 
Just for reference Gamer's nexus when they were doing PSU testing had a gigabyte card die that was in a separate system out of no where.
I believe this video https://youtu.be/aACtT_rzToI or the one after it talks about it. https://youtu.be/Xts3pvbcFos
 
Here a run down of the gigabyte 30 series problem. https://youtu.be/JFgsL5NFn_Y
 
You can search for "GIGABYTE 30 series dying" and go down the rabbit hole.
 

Temps are starting to go up again. 🤬

honeywell ptm7950 ordered. 😎

Just a warning Liquid Metal is NOT thermal paste and can eat certain metals. That WILL void your warranty. 
 
Please watch this video https://youtu.be/MM0kVXU1rjA
it is from buildzoid.

honeywell ptm7950 is not thermally conductive it isn’t liquid metal.

OK. I didn't want you to ruin your warranty for something that will not help.

I would never put liquid metal on my hardware. 😊

Sony uses it on the PS5... That is kind of scary.

LM eats aluminum and lead free solder so when the gasket material fails that holds the LM into place... Goodbye heatsink and goodbye PS5. If you watch teardown videos of the PS5 you will understand how easy it would be to ruin it. I wonder how many know the level of damage LM causes.
