P106 running hot + throttling

The saga continues with my Gigabyte P106-100 6GB vid card. Got it running perfectly, with one newly discovered exception: performance throttling due to heat.

 

I disassembled the card, cleaned, new thermal paste, checked the fans, etc but no change. Does anyone have any creative cooling ideas? I’d consider water cooling but don’t know if that exists for the P106. Or maybe GTX1060 cooling hardware will fit?

 

Any advice or P106 throttling experience, please share. TIA

You could try those arctic coolers, might work.
