I have an issue where my machine is getting too hot, I recently moved and we have UF heating, the study it's in has a slightly higher ambient and I think it's tipped the temps over the edge.

I have:

8700K (NZXT Kraken X52 I think? 240MM One)
2080TI Strix
Rad front mounted, push/pull, 1x 140mm exhaust.

I messed around the other day checked all fans were working etc, the thermals of the case are sadly rubbish.

My GPU is hitting 80 odd, at 80 the fans ramp up, it cools, goes quiet, hits 80 again etc. I have played around with a custom fan curve which has helped a bit, but it's louder than I want it.

CPU temps are all fine.

Sadly there's not much in stock at the moment so options seem limited.

Option A) Buy a new case - Lian Li Dynamic 011D, like the look of it, but out of stock and not keen on the AIO looking weird as it's not a 360 and having to buy a load of fans which seems to cost more than the case itself.

Option B) Decent airflow case, ignore aesthetics?

Option C) Water - hesitant about this as take the PC to LANs.

Are there any AIO that fit these cards?

Anyone else have any suggestions?

Thanks
