Hello everyone!

I have 3 Gtx 1080s, and one in specific, runs hot. It starts out like my other two cards. Around 140F (60C) but on load non stop, it would go up to 170 and just stop. I can't get it to cool, and the card won't actually heat up more than that. The fans are on max. (MSI Afterburner, aggressive fan curve).

So I bought some Artic MX-4 and try to attempt to cool it. Well now it just trickles up to 180F+ (82C) before I just turn it off. The fans are already at max with OPEN AIR. I put a fan on it and I saw no difference.

Links to what the paste looks like. I thought I added enough, but after I added the paste, the temps rose.
