Hi, so I have currently have this GPU.
I have a few question about it:
1) Recently my rear exhaust fan died, now I have 3 fans on the front, but they are useless since the front panel is right on them. (this case).
When I play R6S, NFS HEAT and Far Cry 5, my GPU doesn't hesitate to go to 95C and literally cant move up from there, only down.
I overclocked the card to +110MHz on Core Clock (now its 1100MHz) with no temp limit, no messing around with voltages, adjusted the fan curve to 50% since its the balance between cooling and noise for me.
So I'm wondering if I should do anything about that, since the card runs perfectly fine on that temp, no crashing, artifacting, its just that it runs on 95C.
What is weird to me that it seems not to be going past 95C, like there is a temp limit, but there isn't.
I repasted the card 4 times since May 2020, never ran into issue's (thank God).
I'd like to mention that it has never been like that, even when I didn't have the rear exhaust fan.
So should I do something about it until I get another rear exhaust fan, or do I just keep it that way?
Thanks in advance.

- Now, when I'm disassembling the card, I cant seem to disconnect the LED and FAN connectors, like they are stuck. Instead I have to slowly stretch out the cables so I can have enough space to clean the PCB and somehow clean the GPU die, apply thermal paste and then reassemble it. Of course, I don't want to pull like a madman until I potentially break the headers. Is there a way to disconnect them without breaking them?
- This isn't related so much to the graphics card, but I'm planning to get the Cooler Master HAF X. It will be a huge upgrade both airflow and space wise. With the 230mm side panel cooler, how much cooler will my card run?
Thanks in advance.
