GPU Temp Rising

[oahbpn]

Last month, I watercooled my GTX 1080. The temperature was 48 C, but now it is running at 52 C.

 

Should I re-apply the thermal paste? Any recommendations?

 

Thanks

Idk, are all the variables the same?

Generally speaking these things have to do with an issue with flowrate. Are you positive there is no air trapped in your loop?

Yes, no hardware has changed and no software/updates were installed.

I am not sure if there is air trapped. The amount of noise from the pump is the same. I have an alphacool eiswolf, so I cannot see if there are air bubbles. 

 

Should I open the radiator and top it off with distilled water?

So the temp in the room was the exact same as it was before when seeing the lower temp? Fans speeds and such did nt change. cpu didn't change what so ever? The exact same game in the same scenario and game version for both temps?
