H510 + 3080 + VR = HOT

When playing racing games in VR, my GPU reaches 85c

I know NZXT says that's fine (https://support.nzxt.com/hc/en-us/articles/360023174773-Troubleshooting-high-CPU-or-GPU-temps) but I just don't feel comfortable with it.

I have a 240mm NZXT x53 AIO as the front intake while the rear+top are exhausts.
I've read the post about negative air pressure but I don't want to get rid of my AIO...

I just tried installing a spare 120mm fan under the GPU with zip ties (since the holes don't match) but that only helped it by -5c or less.

GPU idles at 34c and CPU is fine with the AIO (33c idle, 50c load).
Anyone have any other ideas on how to keep my GPU cool? I really don't want to spend more money on a GPU watercooler.

Btw my card is a EVGA 3080 FTW3

TIA
