try blowing compressdd air on it,

i replaced the thermal paste on mine and i don t see it go above 70c.

At worst what you risk isn t the card but your hearing as that gpu would be very loud at 95c... (gpu throttle if they overheat to prevent dmg...)

95 degrees is a little on the high side, if you have a well ventilated case it shouldn't run that hot. Maybe return it to stock settings and see what happens.

Then make a fan curve using MSI Afterburner.

i set the fun at 100%  but now i dont think that fun spining at all and idle are around 70 degrees i think that fan is dead any sugestions

Well I would probably contact the store I bought the card from. They will know how to repair it and if it will cost anything.

If you think its dead try to return it if you only bought it recently. Any other ways is to prob get a aftermarket cooler for it.
