Aftermarket coolers exist, but those temps are well within reason for an RX 5500XT. The aftermarket coolers are usually super sketchy, where you need to glue heatsinks to the memory modules in order to keep them cool. It will keep the card cooler, but the card will be triple slot at least, have compatibility issues with some smaller cases, cost $100-150, and will have a product that looks like it was just thrown together. I'd save your money and just get a better card once you're able to actually buy one.

Hey 

I have an AMD Sapphire RX 5500XT Pulse 8GB.
My hotspot is at 100 oC and GPU at 75 oC.
 wanted to know if there is an aftermarket cooler to decrease those temps and probably OC even more
