Sorry for no title but this is an odd one. I recently replaced my 980ti which was in a custom water cooling loop with a 1080ti. Anyway I reattached the 980ti to its original heat sink and fan (EVGA reference) and plugged it in to test it. Keep in mind this was running GTA V on ultra settings never dropping below 60fps and never going above 60°c in the loop it was in. I even ran it on high settings with a 3 screen display at 25-30fps just to see. My point is it was working perfectly without fault until I plugged it in and tested it with its original cooler on it. It booted fine ran fine all was well with idle, then I ran a benchmark to test it, the fan spun up to 5000rpm (its upper limit) and took about 30 seconds to hit the heat threshold and shut down. I then tested it running KSP (Kerbal Space Program - a rather light GPU game) it heated to 80° and stayed there, even after shutting down the game it still sat over 80 without really decreasing. The fan sounds like it isnt pushing much air, so maybe after 2 years of sitting in a box collecting dust it's had it's day. So I'd that's the case can I buy a replacement cooling unit?
 
Already reapplied and retested thermal compund on it, that doesnt seem to be the issue. Seems to me the fan is shot, even at full speed its pushing about a thurd of the air my 1080ti does at full speed
