Now i have two choices
buy a new card
buy some fans for the card and replace the two that are burned
It goes up to 87c durigng games and is 50 c when i do other things on the pc like reading on the internet or wartcing a movie or a video or a episode of a series. Now as you know due to very high pc demand since march 2020 due to lockdowns, pc parts are very expensive. While a RTX 3060TI real price is 400, in my country it costs 650 and a rtx 3060 whose real price is 300 costs 500. I would had gone for RTX 3070 that normaly it would had cost 500 but it costs 800! My pc techcician was shocked yesterday when we saw the prices of graphics cards. Even RTX 3060 is much more powerful than gtx 970 but it is not a good choice compared to the other current graphics cards.
So do you agree i must get 3060ti for 650?

I believe you can get replacement fans depending on what GPU you have.

I have a 1080 TI since 2017 and the fan on it still works, The thing is I have to use some software to change the fan curve when running a game, The fan won't ramp up when it reaches a certain temperature.

Download this software called MSI Afterburner, You can setup a custom fan curve so that the fans speed up when the GPU reaches a certain temperature.
