100% GPU Usage - 80c constantly stuttering

Tried two different computers.


Any suggestions on which cards offer some value?

out of warranty?

Can you blow it out or reapply paste and pads?

By 1 month unfortunately





I’m going to probably buy a replacement, then take it apart and do either reapplication of thermal paste or get a cooler and the cooling bracket from I think nzxt and put it in an old computer and see if it is just something as simple as that

Is it supposed to be at 100% or is something buggy?
Otherwise, first make sure you don't have dust buildup or airflow problems, then check paste.

this before you start buying shit

@zel no it should never reach 100% outside of stress tests.

Which 1080?

You'll need to get VRM thermal pads too and you'll need to make sure you get the correct thickness.

not really, I only ever replace thermal pads if they are deteriorating.
