Aurora R11, GPU usage, temperature concerns

I'm hoping someone can help. Got an out of warranty 1.5 year old Aurora R11. Liquid cooled with a 3060 Ti and 16GB RAM. No overclocks or other mods. The system has run great until today. I booted up Microsoft Flight Sim, got to the end of the loading screen but no further. Shut down, rebooted, tried again. Same issue. While it was locked up this time, I opened up Task Manager. CPU usage was 11%, memory was 63% GPU was 99% with a temp @ 78C. Power consumption was listed as "Very High". I shut down the program again, GPU temp was at 38C within a couple of minutes. I'm running at 1920 x 1080, 75hz.  No new drivers, hits during virus / malware scans, no BIOS updates. 

It appears that MSFS is having some sort of server issue? Many people are reporting that they are getting locked up at the loading screen. All that being said, what are your thoughts on the temps and power draw? I read somewhere that an overclock would actually lower temps since it increases the fan speed. 

Any advice is greatly appreciated
