[SOLVED] Need a bit of help with my graphics card...

[Dj0gany]

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?

1. 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?
2. 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?

I expect it to run significantly cooler, thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Havent decided yet, you decide if you can understand the stuff here:

That tube of coolermaster paste is the only one I recognize...

Oh geez.
The Cooler Master is the only option.
I wouldn't take a chance with those others.

Oh 1 thing.
In that link, the first red one on for 80 RSD is yhe one i applied on the gpu die and the cpu.
Before i bought it i used H510 1g for 110RSD, which kept the temps perfectly fine for both cpu and gpu.
The reason i bought the 80 RSD red one ks because i was by the shop at that moment and they didnt have the h510 in stock.
Should i buy the H510 or the Cooler Master one?

 

[Dj0gany]

Ok, cooler master one it is then!

If they used values we recognized, like the viscosity that I keep bringing up, then maybe it could be recommended...
But as it is now, it's a hard pass on this H510.

Thanks for the help!

So literally a month later and both the cooler and the thermal paste arrived.
I have done a full pc maintance that took me almost 3 hours xD
I repasted the GPU, cleaned its fans/heatsink, done the same with the CPU.
Cleaned the whole case, fans and everything.
Lets just say the GPU temps dont get over 83C now, even in NFS HEAT, FAR CRY 5 and other demanding games.
I think my problem was that when i opened my GPU 2-3 moths ago, i forgot to repaste it.
Now i can finally game without problems.
Thanks to everyone who responded.
