Should I buy an rtx 3060ti founders edition card?

I have seen that the fe cards run hotter than aib cards at around 70-75ºC. Is it safe to run gpu that hot? I’ll be using the gpu for 3-5 yrs. Should I buy fe cards or aib as the thermal paste is easier to change in aib cards. Also do I need to change thermal paste within 5yrs if I clean my pc regularly. Will the fe cards be good and run without issue for long time.

whichever one is in stock. Also, the fe is significantly cheaper, so you can justifying having worse temps.

But is it safe to run at 70-75 ºC or should I wait to get an aib card?

IIRC cards usually are fine up to 95 degrees, but you'd have to check the spec.

I wouldn't pay that much for a card of that grade. Especially if that's USD.

In my country gpu prices are higher than us markets in like the launch price of 3060ti is $399 in us but it is $499 here
