Hey everyone, I'm experiencing some serious overheating issues with my RTX 3070 GPU. It's getting so hot that I completely lose video signal and the screen goes black. The temperature peaks around 100°C! I've already replaced the thermal paste on the GPU, but the problem hasn't gone away. Here are my system specs: I have a Ryzen 5 5600X CPU, and I use an NZXT AIO water cooler for the CPU. My cooling setup includes three case fans: two front intake fans and one top exhaust fan, all in a Corsair 4000D case. I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions on what could be causing this overheating or how I might fix it.

Have you had the GPU for a while? It might just need another thermal paste application since it's been about 4 years. Also, check for any other hardware issues that might be causing the heat.
This might sound like a simple fix, but are you sure the GPU fans are running properly? Sometimes they can get blocked or fail to spin as they should.
They are definitely working and can reach up to 4000 RPM under stress!
Yeah, I replaced the thermal paste recently, but it didn't make a difference.
