That's the right screen to undervolt in, now use the Power Limit % Slider and dial down 10% at a time. You can start at 80% and work your way up, or work your way down, but given the excessive temp I'd start at 80% and see how close to 90% you can get without ending up in the same place.
Also, consider that this might actually ADD performance, because you now have thermal headroom to run some sort of boost clock.
Run your game with the highest temps to test and do it for 10-15 minutes every time.
There is no shame in an undervolt
Here's my settings... 
I get the same boost behaviour, but stay at 79C in the heaviest loads so the clock remains where its at, instead of dropping bins all the time. If I go higher, all I get is somewhat higher peak clock boost, but higher temps = more noise and zero extra performance. And this 1080 is a fine sample, it can run 2100mhz balls to the wall... Temp just doesn't make it viable for 24/7. Ingame clocks sit just over 1900mhz.Note how the OC is even still intact. It will dial down along with the reduced boost clock potential of a lower power limit. At least on Pascal, it does, but I reckon that's unchanged. This has been running since 2017 with 100% stability.
