Yes that's true, the whole PCB gets really hot especially around the area of the mosfets. Well best solution was installing a fan that blows air to the backside of the card. But that is a bit dump to put the fan on it- and since I have a silent system another fan would increase the noise of the computer.
Well i'll try to improve the temperatures passivly by heatsinks first. that means sinks on mosfets and maybe the copper mounting holes.
Think that should be enough then.
With stock cooler the GPU reached 90°C as temperature by standard and so I think the card got even a bit hotter as now. additionally I think these mosfets are designed for high temperatures. But yes the ramchips may be the most sensitive parts on the card
