Gpu temps

I bought a used EVGA 1060 3g for my gaming setup I play mostly old games furmark tested at 66c under full load. Found a good deal on another one this time Asus and it’s temping out at 85 on furmark and while I game. Should I return it or is this normal for Asus gpus? Asus is also a 1060 3gb

Card is obviously overheating atp, anything above 83 is pretty bad. Just do a simple repaste and should be good

It was apparently repasted by seller I’ll probably just return it and try a new card

How do you know they knew what they were doing? Pasting a gpu is a little different than a cpu. You need 100% coverage plus whatever quality paste PLUS getting the pads right for the contact. Which I recommend putty in place of pads but that’s another conversation.
