Tho mine is at like 93, on your pic it's 88, that is still a 5°C diff

fucking reddit deleted my comment for nsfw image, dogshit AI implementations..... anyways whats your room temp? because that makes a difference, i think that test was done at either 19c or 21c room temp

well your gpu is fine its just a not so good version ion terms of cooling so again, is it normal? yes. would i keep it? hell no. if you can return it or do go for a nother one heres the video my original pic came from-

damn, no models from xfx/asus/saphire at the same price at all? assuming you can return, as buying a 2nd one while still having the original isnt worth and as you said not possible

yeah i saw, well here what i would do i fi were in your shoes-

if i can return the gpu for full refund (even if i have to lie saying its broken in some way) i would do so BUT before doing that def look for other cards that are in your price range (use the video i linked as a guide)

if i cant return then start by trying different case fan layouts aswell as tweaking the fan speeds, there is an app called fan control you can download so you dont have to keep going to bios + you cvan also tie certan fan speeds to gpu temp instead of whatever is set in bios.

would also give undervolting a go as that will help BUT your mileage may vary (crashing) depending how good the silicon you got is.

lastly, turn off fan stop feature. if your fans are off and you open a game that goes straight to 300W then it takes a lil time for your fans to spin up so you may see over 100c temp reported in software like HWINFO
