I've seen a few others, from NON REVIEWERS stating insanely high VRM temps, and well here you go.
Ambient temp, 73f
Less than 5 minutes of test range and viola, on stock volts.
Just to answer a couple of other questions too, these cards are locked and use Elpida memory.
Here's a few links of others with VRM issues....

So yeah, I'm not sure what the reviewers were doing to get those temps, if they had cherry picked cards or what, but I'm not seeing anything under 100c lol. RMA time!
