Hey everyone i've got a question i need help with.
i've noticed that the clock speed seems a bit too high compared to what the card was advertised to.
Im running it on stock settings , i've just bought it and plugged it into the pc i havent touched any settings.
Here is a screenshot of MSI afterburner with nothing changed on it , and on the left is HW monitor showing the current / lowest / highest values , i thought the HW monitor is wrong but the MSI overlay and any other program shows that the card reaches that speed.
The card in question is this :

Did i get super lucky with this card or super unlucky?
Also note temps never go alarming states max it's been is 65-66c under heavy gaming load with 80-82 hotspot.

That's normal you could probly get the temps on hotspot lower with a repaste but not needed. The lower your temp the higher your GPU will clock.

I would overside the stock Nvidia fan curve with 30 percent fan speed at 25c this keeps it on constant and will stop the GPU running as hot as the fans don't kick on usually till it hits 50c. By then the GPU is playing catch up to cool it.

25c 30 percent

50c 60 percent

70c 80 percent

76c 100 percent
