GPU High temps

[Zenyatta]

Hello, I have a GTX 980 with the EVGA ACX 2.0 Cooler. In just Overwatch, it is always pinned at 80c and is always noticeably loud. Sometimes it can get really loud and my frames will drop distractingly low. I think I have decent airflow because I have 2 Be Quiet Pure Wings 2 140mm as intake and one Silent Wing 3 120mm as exhaust in my Phanteks P400. My 6600k cooled by a Cryorig H5 is perfectly fine at ~40c under load so I think it has more to do with the gpu than anything else. When I first installed these fans and got my 980 I remember it only getting max 70c but over time it has gotten worse. Any help? What should I be looking for? Thanks!

set a fan curve and apply some new thermal paste

Sounds like you might wanna repaste the cooler or pick up an aftermarket cooling solution.
