    Question MSI Ventus 2x OC RTX 4070 - Ridiculous hotspot temps?

    Not sure what the deal is, I know it's not a super high end 4070 or anything but the cooling is adequate. I've gone as far as undervolting and underclocking the card to the point that the GPU and memory will hit 68C and 72C respectively under load in Space Marine 2 (Settings cranked as high as...
