It appears they did, but not being able to repaste your card because it will void MSI's warranty is a bummer.

I've read that on some situation MSI has permitted an user to change TIM without the warranty being void.

I don't think I'll care about that, I'm changing whole build in 4 to 5 years anyhow
I signed up in this page just to reply in this thread and say THANKS!
I have a 3 year old Asus ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2080 Ti OC and the fans were going crazy, going from the normal 1800 RPM to 3500 RPM. Thanks to hwinfo I found out that the "hotspot temperature" under load (107º) was way higher than the core temps (65º).
I decided to give repasting a try. After opening the card I saw that there was an area completely without thermal paste. I cleaned everything nicely, put some new thermal paste and closed it. Now my hotspot max temperature is 84º, instead of 107º! And the fans are not going crazy anymore. I can't believe how cool and silent it runs now. I can even add some extra OC, and the card stays silent.
Thank you so much for this thread

I have been googling EVGA 2080 TI fan speed issues, hi revs, etc, for a while now and finally stumbled across this thread. Incredibly helpful!
The behavior I was experiencing was perfectly described here: on hitting 80C my Fan 1 was revving to crazy loud speeds, ignoring my configured fan speed, and worse it would spin up and spin down and spin up and spin down and IT WAS MAKING ME CRAZY.
My card is getting old at this point and I saw the photos and thought "yeah, I bet that's my problem too". I popped open my card today, and sure enough the paste was jacked up. I cleaned it all off and applied fresh thermal paste. It's been running 20C cooler and ZERO fan issues now. There is a game I play that would kick the high-speed fan off within a few minutes of starting it, and I played that game today for hours with no trouble.
In other threads people have been messing with software, but the only people that got satisfaction were the ones that RMA'd their cards for new ones. Hardware issue, not software.
This seems to be some kind of hardcoded fan threshold that is poorly coded, but is mostly fine until your card starts to get hotter and hotter over time as the paste deteriorates.
All fixed now. Thanks again.
