"Awesome guide, OP! Just a heads up, I also clean out my GPU dust buildups with compressed air every 2-3 months. Helps a ton with overheating, in my experience."

Just did a fresh clean on my RX 6800 XT and temps dropped by 10c now. Was a mess with dust buildup, but now it's running silky smooth. Thanks for the guide, gonna be sticking to this for sure.

"Yooo, thanks for the thread bro! I've been dealing with GPU overheating on my 3080 for a while now, will def check out the BIOS settings. Does anyone know if overclocking can be done safely with the new 40 series cards?"

"Lol gotta love the title, but in all seriousness, I've personally found that updating to the latest BIOS and keeping my GPU drivers in check have helped a ton in reducing my card's temps. Has anyone here tried using a custom fan curve or cable management to boost airflow and keep things chill?"

"Dude, I just went through this with my RTX 3080 and it was causing some major throttling. Made sure to clean out the dust and upgrade my heatsink pad – been running smooth ever since. Thanks for the heads up on the bios update trick!"

"Yup, I've had my share of GPU overheating issues. Cleaned out my GPU fan recently and it made a huge difference, temps have dropped by at least 10C. Anyone have any other tricks up their sleeve?"

"Just skimmed the guide and gotta say, some of the steps are pretty obvious. But I suppose for noobs, this is a solid place to start. Anyone have any experience with GPU undervolting?"
