GPU overheating

[Wr0ngEnemy_]

Hello, I have R9 380x Nitro OC edition (sapphire) and the card is at 55% fan speed and I entered the game Hunt: Showdown settings are low-medium and my GPU is at 77-80C while just entered the game, now I increased fan speed from 55% to 70% and its loud af but temperature is 76C, how can I decrease temp?? And my CPU is overclocked, does that make it run more hot?

Did ever change the thermal paste?

No

Should try that, iirc it was around 2015 when they launched and I generally dont like factory thermal pastes. Overall 80C is not high for a GPU, The R9 390x is, dont quote me, but I think rated up to 95C. Fermi cards e.g. would go way hotter and that was considered normal. So yeah you can expect temps between ~70-85 and it's completely normal. Maybe check if the airflow in your case sucks balls or if the fans are blocked by anything.

I have MS Dark Shadow as case, fans are not blocked by anything i have cooler master e2 ic essential thermal paste, should i try to replace thermal paste?

You could replace it but temps below 95C are completely normal for a GPU

I replaced my thermal paste and now when idle temps are 28-33C at 55% and when in game[Hunt Showdown] its 60-70C
