You're dealing with a GPU that's overheating after replacing the fans. It seems the cooling wasn't fully effective, and now you're facing persistent high temperatures. The thermal paste might not have been applied properly, or the fans may not be providing enough airflow. Checking the screw tension is important—ensure they're snug but not overly tight, as springs or spacers could be compressing too much. Consider reapplying thermal paste and verifying the cooling setup before using the GPU again.

Thanks for the update. It looks like everyone prefers Celsius for gaming component temps. Those idle temps seem fine, but you should focus on load temperatures. I’m sure 100°C equals 212°F, and most graphics cards have thermal limits around 95°C—unless they’re modified. Which card do you have?
