SO I just installed this new card. I have the radiator and fan assembly attached to the top of my PC venting out.
The heat blow out of the top (only when gaming) is literally as hot as a blow dryer and the metal mesh top where the radiator is screwed to is hot to the touch.
Is this heat generation normal for this card?
