maybe pop it open and redo the thermal paste.

I don't think paste will do anything, at stock frequencies and auto fan it freezes while reaching maximum 75*C, I downclocked the GPU and kept fan at 40% and didn't freezed even at 87*C. This GPU is strange af o_O

It could be a voltage  issue or something

How do I change the voltage? o_o It's locked in MSI Afterburner

If the GPU freezes at stock frequencies it could probably be another problem

Card might be freaking out because of VRM/MOSFET's over heating. If it needs to downclocked try opening the card up, reapplying thermal paste, checking on your VRM's and whatnot then applying non-conductive thermal pads to them.

I don't know if HD 5770 was meant to have VRM heatsink, because my Sapphire isn't meant to have since I see no holes near them. So I just add thermal pads on VRMs and then what?

That should help with the poor temps, assuming the card is COMPLETELY cleaned out I'm not sure what the issue could be aside from a weird voltage irregularity. If you have modular power supply you have more than 1 PCIE section to plug into, try plugging the power PCIE power connector on your card into a different PCIE power connector on the PSU.
