Just tried undervolting the card to make it run cooler. Makes a big difference.

As the fan of the card is not very powerful, card hits 94C when running furmark (fan 100%). Then I overclock it to 1GHz and lower voltage (-0.07V). This lowers temp to 81C. Helps to save power as well.

I guess the default voltage is too high if user is not doing any serious overclocking. create lots of unwanted heat only.
