All of a sudden when I start a game my gpu fans go to 100 and then my screens go black. After browsing some forums I saw that it has to do with the temps and people suggested to change the thermal paste and pads. I did that and also cleaned the fans. It has helped, my screens no longer go black but my fans still go to 100% and the temps are high. Reaching 82 degrees as soon as my game starts. Idle temps are high as well, about 60-65c. Any idea what's causing this?! I attached a log of what the behavior looks like.

Your link doesn't work.

You've posted this thread in the GPU's section for our forums, but you've forgotten to mention what GPU you're working with(and if it's been used for a while).

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from the make and model if it's been service.

Here is the link, it's a prebuild https://www.newegg.com/abs-computer-technologies-ala120-mage-h/p/N82E16883102750R

I suspect this PSU to be the culprit. Not sure though, but the Gamdias Kratos P1 PSU model is actually listed in Tier 3 on some sites, including Tom's.

I think Andyson is the OEM for this brand, which isn't that bad as some models from Andyson are good, whereas some are garbage. Also, 80% of Raidmax's PSU product line is made by Andyson, and we all know Raidmax has a horrible reputation.

For the RTX 2080 SUPER I would definitely recommend trying some other high-quality PSU. Some pre-built systems usually cheap out on the PSU:
