Asus Strix GTX 1080 some problems

All my specifications for start:

>CPU: i5 8400

>MOBO: AsRock B360 PRO4

>GPU: Asus Strix GTX 1080

>RAM: 8GB 2400MHz DDR4

>SSD|HDD: 120GB|1TB

>PSU: 650W CoolerMaster

So, I started to have problems with the GPU, specifically the very high temperatures under load (Point 1) and the low clock speed of the core (point 2.)

1. Without a load, on the desktop or when browsing the internet, the temperature reaches 40C and this is ok because the card then works in 0dB mode but when I turn on GTA V for example, temperatures suddenly jump from 90 to 94C and this is not ok because the fans then work at 100% and so it does not give anything.

2. The core clock on the desktop is fixed 1600MHz and does not change but the use of the core is usually 1 or 2%, but when you turn on some game the clock goes down and starts jumping from 400MHz to 1400MHz but usually fluctuates below 1000 with 100% core usage.


What I've already tried to do so far:


> Installation and testing of 3 different versions of the drivers, of course using the ddu in safe mode

> Locking clock speed at 1800MHz in msi afterburner

> Lowering the core clocking up to 1500MHz

> On the NVIDIA control panel I set the PhysX processor on GeForce GTX 1080 and changed the "Power Management Mode:" to "Prefer maximum performance"

> And regarding high temperatures, I cleaned the whole card from dust (of course without unscrewing)
 
Solution
what is your intake/exhaust setup for your case look like? that is likely where your issue lies, your GPU is probably having a hard time cooling itself due to the environment that it's in. either add some case fans or increase the RPMs in bios by changing fan profile.
