I recently bought a used GTX 980 ti FTW and when I used it, it got up to the mid 80's in like 3 minutes, so I took it apart, blew out all the dust and replaced the thermal paste with MX-2 and tried it again, so it still got the the mid 80's but it took a little longer so it did help but marginally. Should this card be getting this hot? Also I have the agressive fan curve set on EVGA presicion x so it gets mighty loud.

Is it overclocked at all? The 980ti does run very hot, and 80C is not a terrible temperature, but it should be less. What games are you playing when it gets that hot?

Main PC:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X • Noctua NH-D15 • MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk • 2x8GB G.skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz CL16 • MSI VENTUS 3X GeForce RTX 3070 OC • Samsung 970 Evo 1TB • Samsung 860 Evo 1TB • Cosair iCUE 465X RGB • Corsair RMx 750W (White)

 

Peripherals/Other:

ASUS VG27AQ • G PRO K/DA • G502 Hero K/DA • G733 K/DA • G840 K/DA • Oculus Quest 2 • Nintendo Switch (Rev. 2)

 

Laptop (Dell XPS 13):

Intel Core i7-1195G7 • Intel Iris Xe Graphics • 16GB LPDDR4x 4267MHz • 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD • 13.4" OLED 3.5K InfinityEdge Display (3456x2160, 400nit, touch).

Well it got to like 85c when running unigine heaven for a couple minutes, but it only goes to about 75c tops when I have the side panel off and a box fan right next to the case blasting air on it. And it's running at about 1460MHZ on the core and about 3700MHZ on the memory
