I have an HP Compaq 6005 SFF which I recently applied a GT 710(yes ik bad card but its good enough for my gaming needs rn). That particular GT 710 was sitting on my friends shelf since about September 2020 since he had a good card but bought it by accident when he didn't know Vega graphics were much better than the card. I've been noticing that the card temperature steadily rises up to 95c while gaming! For that reason my games suffer fps drops and makes it extremely annoying for them to be enjoyable. My CPU stays at a reasonably alright 69-70c while playing the same game (both measured with MSI Afterburner). Could it be the thermal paste? Or something else(the card doesn't have a fan but a heatsink).
TLDR: Installed almost 2 year old unused GPU, temperatures are insane, not sure who the culprit is
