Brand new 3060Ti arrived today and my quest for a GPU is finally over. But my excitement has been a bit ruined...
Under a stress test (Kombustor and others) the sensors immediately read 80c and the fans instantly ramp up to 100%. 'Hot spot' reads around 105c.
At 100% fan speed the temperatures never even drop below 78c or so (this is under full load but still). I've never seen cooling on a GPU this ineffective before.
A case of FE cards being bad at cooling? Well I doubt it, since every single review raves about how the 3060Ti FE runs extremely quiet and cool.

-my card under heavy load
My card is running at MORE THAN DOUBLE the rpm, is almost 10c hotter, and is probably 40db louder.
Any ideas or similar experiences?
EDIT: Undervolt your card people!
