I bought a used GTX 1080 that was advertised on ebay and it knocked me out of the game at 83 degrees. I investigated the issue and found that a thermal pad is needed and evga is no longer giving them out. So I bought this element and installed it in the recesses of the radiator. And luckily for me it now reaches 94 degrees without jerks. Dude my card works so I bought another one for the sli setup. I also updated the dual bios from the nvidia website before installing the thermal pad.
