2080ti Matrix Overheating

onsight · December 28, 2021

I have ROG Matrix GeForce RTX^™ 2080 Ti P11G Graphics card started to overheat. i bought this used and had it for about 3 months. However it was working perfectly fine prior.

Graphics card at idle is 35c
Idle temperature never goes above 40c
GPU doesn't actually crash it just has high temperatures.
While playing Warzone or Apex Legends the temperature on the GPU automatically increases to 88c.

I tried Following things to lower down Gpu temperature

Thermal Paste changed
Removed Dust from fans
Clean PC case
100% full clean on the PC, every part was taken out and cleaned. Both the CPU and the GPU have new thermal paste. A this moment there is no dust in the PC
Checked for VBIOS update
Made sure that all the drivers were up to date from motherboards, gpu, cpu, everything.
The PC has more than enough cooling.
I ran the PC with side panels removed, and front panel removed as well,
I put a house fan in front to allow more air to flow through.
I checked for leakage on the GPU built in AIO when i replaced the thermal paste there are no signs of it leaking. i checked every component.
i ran the fans on max speed and the same thing continues to happen.
Lowered graphics settings
