The temperatures compared to the reviewers temps differ by quite a few celsius degrees. They said that the optimal temperature of this card is 68 celsius degrees, but in most of my games it goes above that. Now to list the games and temperatures: Overwatch 63-75 degrees, Dead by Daylight 68-74, Battlefield 1 63-70. I have a full tower case be quiet 800 I think it's the model, so there shouldn't be any problems with the cooling, as the cpu doesn't go above it's average temperature. I know that it's not a very high temp, but what could cause it. The PC is pretty new, I think that it has 3 weeks, so I don't think it's because of dust. The ambient temp in my room is between 22-30 degrees.
 
Solution
I'd suggest downloading MSI afterburner and changing the fan speeds at certain temps and then re try and see what the temps get to.

I think that the max rotation is the default one, since I didn't overlocked it, neither do I plan to. Didn't saw it higher than 2100 rpm.
