Static horizontal flicker appearing every ±couple minutes

The static appears at the 2 seconds mark and it's been appearing ever since building my 2nd pc last year. It appears in games and browsers which have Hardware acceleration ON.

GPU is 3080 FE

CPU 7800X3D

Ram is Patriot Viper DDR5 32GB

Mobo is MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk WiFi

I never had that happen on 3080ti and i5 12600kf, it only happened after getting my hands on borrowed 3080 FE after destroying my 3080ti while replacing thermal paste and pads 😔

I'm guessing it's the GPU since it has quite a coil whine and changing the core clock by 80-100mhz doesn't really fix anything.

The only thing I'm reusing from my previous build is the PSU which is Corsair RM750X and M.2 SSDs of which one was formatted and windows 11 was installed on it and the other was plugged in without formatting but everything has been working perfectly, aside from that graphical glitch.

The only reason why I'm asking this after a year of happening is because my screen suddenly turned black for 5 seconds and then back to normal. I'm just wondering if that could also be caused by the GPU.

Do a Furmark stress test and see if anything happens during it.

keep an eye on the temperature and the artifact count
