Hello everyone,
I purchased an RTX 4060ti MSI ventus black 2X for $342 and I've been doing some upscale tests with topaz AI 3.2.9 and with 3DMARK time spy, and I couldn't help noticing that my hotspot temp is reaching 101°C and the card sits around 81, if I set my power limit to 62% the hotspot decreases to 80, but it's still a lot

My previous RX 6600 used to hover around 60°C
My room temperature is 18-21°C
My case has 2x120mm intake fans and 2x120mm exhaust fans
I tried re-applying thermal paste today, the factory thermal paste was rock solid, and it was really hard to remove it but no improvement whatsoever.
Is it normal to reach 101°C with an ok airflow and a room with air conditioning? or should I replace the thermal pads? I don't wanna RMA because I live outside the US, and it will take around 2 weeks to send it back and who knows how much more for them to send me a new one (warranty seal intact).
