I built my computer about 2 years ago, and the side panels of the case felt warm on touch when I was gaming. Then I decided to benchmark my GPU, and got really worried because it gets around 82°C in full load. Once it gets to 82°C it starts to lower the power until it gets to 70%. I tried cleaning the dust out of it, but I get the same results. I tried to cap the power to 100% un MSI afterburner, but temperatures go up to 88°C, and I don't think those are safe temperatures at all. Is there anything I can do to fix the thermal throttling?? I thought about watercooling, but that's not a possibility because I live in Argentina, and we have blocked importations, and prices are REALLY high. Other than that I didn't have any trouble with this card.
