Hi,
So i bought a Zotac GTX 1070 Amp! edition, and right off the bat, i stressed it using furmark and heaven, the temps seemed unusually high.. 79C (Heaven) and 83C (Furmark AA off) both at 1080p so i thought the Card was a dud and RMA'd it, when i received the new card, the temps were the same.. is this a cooler problem?? i had thought that the large heatsink and large fans will keep the card quite low, i also changed the TIM to Coolermaster IC Essential 2 and Arctic Silver Ceramique 2.. same results even at 100% fan speed, air flow is not a problem as i have 2 intake fans and 2 exhaust fans.. this isnt affecting my gameplay though, im getting a solid 1911mhz boost in BF4 multiplayer, i know 92C is the max alllowed in MSI afterburner.. but im a bit disappointed that an after market cooler runs as hot as a Founders edition card. anyone else having the same card and having the same temps?? thanks

Sure! :)

https://www.goldfries.com/hardware-reviews/zotac-geforce-gtx-1070-amp-edition-graphics-card-review/ (Around about the temps you are getting)

https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/4sugr7/gtx_1070_zotac_amp_idle_temp/ (Again around about the same temps as yours)

The fact that you got another card that was the exact same, then i doubt its a cooler problem.

Hello!

After doing a bit of research it seems as though this card is a hot card, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

When you start getting FPS drops, errors and other weird things going on then I would worry but it sounds as though everything is alright at the minute :)
