Sometimes that helps. Additionally, since you are not opposed to added fan-noise, perhaps a modification to give the fan on the card some direct air (side-panel intake)?
I will add a 120mm fan blowing towards the intake and another one blowing across the top of the card.
I don’t want to take the thing apart just to change the TIM with something that might yield marginal results at best. I have really clumsy fingers and don’t really want to take that risk unless I am adding an aftermarket cooler.

Thanks again laurie, I will keep that in mind

Fair enough.

Force-feed that GPU some air.
