My Gigabyte Windforce OC 2080ti sounds like a powerwasher

I honestly don't even remotely know how it started , it just started happening one day a week or two back ,didn't happen a lot, but every now and then it was there,but today it started being a constant, whenever a game is actively running on the screen, it goes nuts, even setting the fan to 100% speed doesn't bring the rpm up that high on the tachometer from what i can see in MSI afterburner.

I click off the game and go to a different monitor, it completely calms down and stops making so much noise it could wake the dead.

The video is still being processed by Youtube last i checked and only 480p is available atm, its recorded with my iPhone XS Max , so i do believe a 4k recording will be available.

I'm thinking the GPU is more or less dead ? , its never been OC'd or fiddled with.

Runs together with a i9 9900k , 32gb ddr4 3600mhz on a gigabyte aorus master motherboard, not that i think it has anything to say in this regard.
 
I fixed it my self, took it apart, applied new TIM , its only 9 screws to release on the back and you can get the cooler off , gpu is about 10-15c cooler now when running games as well , also applied new thermal pads, TIM + Thermal pads from Phobya , good stuff.
