Hey everyone, I recently repasted my RTX 3080 because it was overheating and showing black screens. I noticed the temperature has improved from around 80-85°C down to 72°C, which is great. However, my FPS has dropped significantly, going from about 136 FPS down to the 50-65 range. I'm looking for some advice on what might be causing this decrease in performance. Any tips would be appreciated!

It sounds like your repasting might not have been done properly, or maybe you're using the wrong thermal paste. Different GPUs can require specific types of paste. What kind did you use? Most people recommend leaving the repasting to the pros because it can be tricky.

I think I might try repasting it again; I used the Grizzly paste this time, but I'm considering switching to MX-6. Do you think that would make a difference?
