Question I have a Gigabyte 3080 Master 10GB Rev 3.0 Fans rev at 60c.

So i repasted my GPU because it was reaching 87c under load in games, so I opened her up and there was little to no thermal paste (new 3080 when bought) so I used Artic MX-8 thermal paste and put it back together, now it sits at roughly 60-65c under load in video games at 1440p, but once it reaches 60c no matter the fan curve i set, it ramps up to like 70% Ive posted the MSI afterburner settings and fan curve i got. Just wondering if anyone can help me, because its like a jet engine going on and off every 5 seconds and its annoying, I want it quiet, but also cool. Also the hotspot at idle is 50c and underload its at 70c.

I have been playing with it for hours and i am stratching my head, It runs cooler because I repasted it but the fans seems to not understand that its 15c or more cooler lolhttps://ibb.co/687J4B0

set the fan digitally (rectangle) and not like a curve
if 60 is reached the fan will speed up but than the temp. lowers and the fan speed too and so on
the minimum fan speed might be too slow, set too 40°C

Can you draw it for me as i never had to deal with fan curves before, all my older cards were quiet, but this gigabyte card is loud, at the moment at idle writing this its at 38c at 52% fan speed on MSI afterburner, quiet, but once i play a game, max temp i get is 60-70 fps and then its like a jet engine
