That sounds like my first card will propably make it to 900 on water, I just don't know about the second one. I'm thinking about sending it back and getting another one. Maybe MSI this time.

When I got the second card there were visible marks on the PCIe connector, even though the card looked new it was definitely put in a system in the past. Also, one screw hole close to the edge has marks that look like copper corrosion. And the PCB is running ~10°C hotter than the first card.
You are welcome!

I would send that card back immediately, 10C difference in PCB makes me think of a bad mounting of the cooler, also PCB temps happen a little slower because the heat is absorbed through the 8 layers. A GPU's temp fluctuation is almost instant, that card was put together by a well train monkey! .
