Have you tried opening your computer's case and checking for dust on the card? Is the fan spinning correctly? You should clean all dust from your computer's case and ensure the card is securely sat in its PCIe x16 slot. Sometimes cards creep out of their slots causing things like the fan connector to detach. This is due to the card heating up and cooling down causing the silicon to expand and contract making the card gradually creep out of its slot over time.

Have you tried what Thelps said? if it definitely isnt what Thelps said (and you checked) then..

If you are still getting around 100C (make sure you are not mixing it up for 100F (Fahrenheit)), I'd get it replaced. The heat sink probably came loose off the graphics chip and trying to put it back yourself will void warranty.

what games are you running? Try downloading Heaven benchmark and see if you get the same results. Also do you have the lastest AMD drivers? What's the airflow like in your case? nice that your ambient temperature is 'cold' but you still need to get that cold air into your case properly.

I had a card that would overheat when i would start up game and the thing was that the fans were bad on the card and they were not moving the air that is needed for cooling the card. I had to RMA the card.

You should see if the fans work or if the heatsink is not on good if so then you have to RMA the card

It's all ok, I already tested a lot of drivers, my case is very cold too, only the card overheat, and the situation is the same in all the games that I open.
