MSI GAMING X 5700 XT Tempatures

Visually, the MSI AMD Gaming X has a very similar cooler to my Gaming X Trio 2080. I don't necessarily think MSI skimped out on AMD products. It's not normal, 5700 XT's 7nm process is a lot denser than 12nm process used in the 2080 (which is really 16nm), so that could contribute to higher overall thermals. But not that much.

As you have already repasted it, RMA is the only way to go.
