Does he have an overclock?

 

What GPU?

 

Game?

 

Whats the RPM of the cooler?

 

Is the computer clean? (Dirt, dust, etc?)

I did some quick research and that is very high. Is their anything blocking the fan? (Cables, connectors, etc?)

Oh it's a 470 makes sense cards in that lineup get very very hot.If i were you I would add some system fans to lower the temps.

Subnautica is a pretty demanding game for a 470

Any card in the GTX 4XX series can get up to 90 degrees instantly

You did not just build a PC a few days ago with a GTX 470, it's used. So clean it.

he got the pc last year for christmas broke it within the first week so i took it apart and then rebuilt it for him this christmas

Yes, and a card of that age will have dust in the heat sink. You won't see it until you use canned air. Then stand back.

 

I'd also change the thermal paste.
