Hello guys, I purchased a Powercolor red dragon 5600 XT in August 2020, when i game on 1440p high setting in games like RE3 remake or DMC5 the gpu temps reaches around 80'C with 49% fans max and hotspot temprature goes upto 90-93' C, i use a Cooler master CM 500 cabinet with 1 exhaust fan, side case open and 1 Portable fan beside the open case. Room ambient temprature would be around 29-33 Degrees Celsius. Earlier i had Gtx 1070 which Went upto 83'C even on 100% Fans ( It was 2.7 years old) . Im scared that the Gpu temps are quite high should i sell my gpu?
Also i have a 1440p 144hz monitor just for information if you need
 
Solution
Close your side panel and add two intake fans to the front, then add some exhuast fans, your case needs to have proper air flow, opening the side panel is not good for cooling, alternatively you can get a new case with a bottom mounted PSU and more space for top fans for better air flow.

Welcome to Tom's Hardware @ADAM salah!

Your issue is very certainly airflow. Opening the side panel won't do much and it might make it worse. Essentially what is happening is that your parts are heating up, and instead of cooling the air and pushing it out, it simply takes in back all the hot air. I had it with my 2060 sand I'm in the market for a new case but I only had 1 intake fan
