I have not tried other algos yet as I recall KawPow will use more power and definitely cause the temps to rise even more
I guess Alexgtr is right, temps in MSI afterburner shows 50 to 52 degrees Celsius but internal temps seems to be off.
Yes, KawPow uses a little more power
I have a card here that is very hot at the memories, it's always on 92 to 96 degrees but the GPU is 55c
But this is easy to find, I suppose you are using MSI afterburner, or another app, just put the fans on manual, and set something like 60 or 70% and see if the card stop to trottling, you can even put 90% just to test
Maybe the fan curve is not enough to keep the card running 100%, and above certain temp the card will reduce power to reduce temp
In MSI afterburner, I have set the fan at 100% manually to test it same results.
I purchased it from a local online retailer, and they do not have any more stock to replace the card it seems.
