HI

I purchased a gaming PC some time ago and it has always worked perfectly but recently I have noticed something unpleasant during gaming sessions: the shadows are pixelated and there is a noticeable amount of flickering that is decidedly annoying. To try to resolve it, I downgraded the drivers but it didn't work. I also tried to do a DDU. I updated the motherboard BIOS but nothing. The temperatures are normal both in IDLE and full Throttle however, as per the screenshot I noticed that the reading of the voltages of the connectors apparently seems ambiguous however in terms of stability I have not encountered any problems at all, never BSOD, never slowdowns, nothing that suggests a hardware problem, my config is the following:

I7 12700KF (Liquid heatsink with two fans)
Power supply AZZA 750w Gold
MSI Z690-Pro
RTX 3080 Gainward 10gb (drivers 546.33 currently installed)
32GB RAM DDR4 3200 with active profile
1tb ssd nvme ADATA
1tb ssd nvme Crucial
Acer 1080p max 75hz refresh vsync monitor

I also tried changing the HDMI cable to the monitor with 0 results I'm absolutely sure it didn't have this problem a while ago and it came out suddenly. Unfortunately I have no possibility of testing another VGA or using the RTX on another PC.

What else can I do to try to solve this annoying problem?

Thank you all for your cooperation

EDIT: i have tried to use 0.5 refresh rate on the sensors and i dont have anymore strange readings

I doubt it is a hardware problem. Go to the official forums of whatever game that is and ask them about your issue. Most likely it is the game or a recent patch it had.
Your temperature is normal. You could install MSI Afterburner and lower your vRAM(memory) frequency and GPU frequency and see if you still have that flicker.

If you have a spare SSD install a fresh Windows build there and test games from there. The issue is still there, you got something whacky with the GPU itself and it's a case of RMA/moneyback/repairshop/etc.
