I'm concerned since my 2080ti is idling at 58c. I have that intake right next to an exhaust and I'm not sure.

When did you last repaste your GPU? it is a good practice to clean and repaste your CPU/GPU regularly (once a year or so).

TBH I wouldn't recommend this one blindly. Sure it would help but it depends on the skills, used paste and circumstances. Under "normal" use with a branded thermal paste the intervals should be somewhere between 4 and 5 years. If the CPU and GPU are cooking the whole time then yeah, 1 to 2 years. But even then, if you're not a little bit tech savvy, impatient and cautious you can mess up pretty badly...
