I own rx6600 since more than a year and what seems odd it's a bit loud, even with fan curves like this the fans spin up to the almost 2kRPM and hot spot temp is near 95°C:

and it's not like my case isn't well ventilated, i have 2 Arctic P12s blowing cold air from outside of the case directly at it, playing with fancontrol and hooking my case fans speed to the GPU temp lowers it quite a bit (barely above 90°C and 1800RPM) but it's still a bit more than I like and it prevents me from raising my power limit to 120W, then the card is whining at almost 3kRPM

Is my sample defective? its XFX variant, mainly 210 SWFT with two fans? i heard a lot about botched heating installation in GPUs, insufficient paste amount etc, could this be it?
