So I have been extremely stressed out about this as my computer is the only real way I can do anything in my life right now in terms of making money from video editing, and I dont have enough to spare to buy another GPU as it was a gift.

Unless I physically walk over to my case, and use my fingers to manually kickstart spinning one of the fans on the card which seems to be on its last legs, I go to 80-90c playing games on medium. After I do this the one working fan makes a loud as hell WRRing noise but lowers me a few degrees, it's making me extremely paranoid. I've benchmarked the card itself and it's doing well above expectations according to UserBenchMark.

I just want to fix this. I'm scared for my card when I render.
 
Solution
Replace the fans.

Or remove them completely and put something like this in front of your GPU.
