The card is running really hot, nothing like what i've seen in the benchmarks/reviews before i purchased the card. At stock fan speeds while gaming some non demanding games the card will regularly reach 80+, even higher if it's a demanding game or a benchmark. If i want to OC or run a custom fan profile i have to turn the fans up to 70% which get really loud and the middle fan gives off an annoying coil whine. I have a decent case with good airflow (600T) was wondering what my options short of watercooling would be? Maybe see if somebody else has this issue.
