i have a corsair 350d and there is 2 fans in the front and 2 fans in the back they are all pushing air the right way thought you guys might want to know that

Did you clean off the old thermal paste before hand?

Did you replace the thermal pads over the memory modules?

Does the fan work? How is your case airflow?

Return it... 95 degrees is definetely not normal! I hope for you that your warranty isn't voided by replacing the thermal paste...

yes the fans work i did clean off the old thermal paste and the thermal pads are still on there so idk

Are you using some kind of custom fan curve? ASUS is known to make very bad coolers for AMD graphics cards. I'd return it and buy from a different brand

95 degree is real hot

 

Just RMA it!
