So I have a EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra and suddenly out of no where when it's at idle on the desktop it'll show a reading of 0-210 mhz, this is strange because even at idle prior to this it would stay at 1800mhz no matter what, and now it's throttling between 0-200 mhz. I was wanting to know what could be causing this issue, is it possibly a bad gpu or could any other hardware in the PC (cpu,ram,ssd,hdd,psu) cause this to happen and if other hardware can cause this problem please let me know. I have an RTX 4080 coming soon and I don't want any other hardware to cause problems. I've also been bsoding but I'm not sure if that's fault on the GPU or the CPU, but the CPU stays at it's correct clock speeds and doesn't usually get above 50 C.

Also I'll be giving this RTX 3080 away once I get my 4080 so first person to hmu can have it.
