There dosent have to be a problem! Not all cores run the same temperature. My Connect3D GTO with default cooler, fan 100% and AS5 would also run 76C full load, I hope you are not going to tell me that I also have bad contact with the core.
Now if you said 'there could be a problem' then I would whole heartedly agree. There seems to be peeps on this brd who are 'scaring' others into thinking their cards will burn-up
Oh and just for the record after slapping my block on, my card runs at 44C load, big difference, LOL
