I dont know why but my gpu keeps overheating I removed the overclock and revert it back to its oem configuration.

Are the fans working? Is the card caked with dust? Is the case getting decent airflow?

The case air flow is fine and I just got the gpu so its not caked with dust

72C is fine.

anything below 80 is actually.

Um, that's not overheating.  Pascal cards can reach up to 94c before thermal throttle kicks in.

The problem is that on a game like fortnight the gpu is getting maxed out and the temperature won't stop rising really

Also, NVIDIA GPUs typically designed to as fast as possible until it hits what it thinks is a thermal limit, then it adjusts itself if it thinks the cooling system can't keep up. But unless it starts dropping below the base clock speed, it's not considered to be in a thermal throttling condition.

I have a AMD GPU. If my card is constantly at full clock speed, is this a good thing?

Unless you deliberately want it that way, no. It's supposed to lower clock speeds if idling.

Sorry, i meant in gaming, not idle.
