So for one, the heat coming out of your case is solely do to the amount of wattage being used. A card can run at 60c peak and still pump out 40c+ air if it's drawing 400-500w.

For two, we are talking about junction (or hotspot, in Nvidia's case) temp, not edge temp. I do not believe for a second that anything other than a watercooled 3090ti is running at 70c junction temp. If you're comparing a watercooled cards' temps to a reference cards temps, I don't know what to tell you.

I believe that the AMD GPUs in question actually maintain fairly decent edge temps, while actively thermal throttling due to junction temps.

It's crazy how people can watch the same videos from the same handful of content creators and come to wildly different conclusions. The issue with the 12 pin connector is primarily user error. No amount of issue with the design can be used as an excuse for leaving the connector so clearly unplugged as to cause the overheating issue.
