This is normal, amd cpu's unlike intel do not give you a core by core temperature. I am not sure if it is just an average or a single sensor, but again yes this is normal.

You could wait a little bit for new cards to come out, see what performance to price ratio they have, and see if other good cards come down in cost as a result. It's up to you and the 970 is still pretty decent.

Lol. I bought a phanteks halo for the front and did some custom stuff with the noctua heatsink cover, Plexiglass, and a XSPC sing rgb LED . I am pretty happy with the result, let me know what you think. Oh and the heat sink is the chromax u12s.

Try reseating the cpu, maybe it got jostled when you were messing with the cooler.

Well, the purpose of those programs is to stress the gpu and/or cpu. Running at stock speeds you should/will be fine. In your case undervolting shouldn't have caused an issue. Is it under warranty and does undervolting violate the warrenty conditions set by the manufacturer?

I did a quick google is it by chance a gtx 770 acx? The pic is from a post on the evga forum. edit: the forum was responed too by evga stated that it was enviromental damage.

This is way too much material to be thermal paste. However I have never seen corrosion like this on a card. What conditions was it ran in? Is it exceptionally humid or did it get wet. It looks like wet plaster got split all over the card, its even on the heat pipes. Did you have it near any work being done like house repair, cement, etc. Again I have never seen this before.

It may be an "unrealistic" load, but if the card is being loaded heavily it is good for checking temps and stability of overclocks. As to manufacturers not specing their cards to work under this load, is irrelevant. If the card can't run stock under the heaviest load they built the card poorly and the customer is right to expect better. That's also like saying the 3600 isn't meant to be used in a server, but that doesn't mean it should suffer thermally under load.

it may not be an air flow issue. While sapphire cards are not known for this issue the rx 5xxx family has had issues with mounting pressure. Another thing to check if it is thermal throttling is thermal paste, and fan curves to make sure the fans are actually spinning fast enough in response to the heat being generated.

jays two cents did a video on this look it up and see if it helps.

Good plan. Good luck.

It does matter, different brands have different coolers, when there is a difference in price it is typically due to cooler quality. A worse cooler could mean worse performance, also different manufactures use different parts that can effect performance. I'm not as familiar with nvidia, but in amd gpus different manufactures can use different vram. With that in mind top manufactures do have better rma policies as stated above.
-
I agree to a point, but cpu's degrade over time. Overclocks stable when new might become unstable a couple years down the road, so it is possible the cpu could be going. However if you haven't already repasting the cpu and reseating the heat sink is always a good first step to see if a new cpu is necessary
-
If the first ram slot doesn't work it could be the slot, the cpu socket, or the cpu. Try reseating the cpu(take it out and put it back in). This isn't necessarily connected to the freezing issue, but its worth a try.

Pc CPU Cooler/CPU actually exploded

Uhh... ok. I don't know what that means, but is this just a twitter post or are you asking for help. I'm just confused and don't see how I or anyone could help.
