I have had this issue since day 1 i bought this GPU but i didn't figure it till it's too late and now out of warranty!

The problem is the card gets too hot so easily even on low load and light games. It idles around 40c on winter (11~21c room temp) and around 47~52 summer (34~39c room temp) and whenever i launch a game even if it's League of legends it jumps instantly to 70c and within 5 minutes it jumps to more than 85c with fans 100% and 3 fans are working fine. the temp reached 95c on fortnite with room temp 35c. another example it operates at around 85c~ on dota 2 (70% usage not even 100%) and room temp 10c this all happens within 10 minutes of gameplay at best.

i don't know what causing this but i am sure its not airflow or case problem because all my other components are working with low temp including my cpu even with stock intel cooler!

please help me and sorry for bad english and long thread! thanks.
