I recently bought a used GPU and after installing it, I've noticed that my PC is quite loud and it vibrates a bit on my table. The GPU is reaching max temperatures of 92°C while gaming, and I'm also experiencing stuttering and unstable FPS drops. Here are my specs: Ryzen 5 5600x, Asus b450m, 16 GB DDR4, RTX 3060 Ti, and an Enermax Max Pro 2 600W PSU. I'm concerned that the PSU might be of poor quality, and my PC case (Kolink Observatory Lite Mesh) may have inadequate fans, leading to increased noise. Sometimes it runs at full speed, sounding like a jet, then quiets down a bit. Any suggestions on resolving this issue?

It sounds like your GPU is overheating, which can happen if the thermal paste has deteriorated over time. Reapplying thermal paste might help lower the temperatures. Additionally, ensure that your case has good airflow, and clean any dust buildup in the fans. That could also reduce the noise you're hearing.
Yeah, I think dust might be an issue too. I'll look into cleaning it and consider the repasting!
I had similar heating issues with my old GPU, and after repasting it, the temps dropped significantly. Make sure to also check if your case fans are working properly!
