Hey guys I recently got an Alienware Aurora R11 that comes with an OEM 2080 Super.
It's been running very hot at 30-50% usage and I don't know why. The case is clean, open case with a large fan blowing cold air into the case.
I know these OEM cards suck at cooling but I don't know why this card even with a high power fan pushing cold air right into the card its pushing 87c with a light load playing older games.
I recently opened the card to clean the dust out of the blower fan and ever since then it's running MUCH hotter than previously on games with the same settings. Playing Smite maxed at 1440p would heat the card to around 75c max, and now it's pushing that 87c at the same exact settings. Did I mess up the paste, should I repaste the processor?
Please help!
