I've noticed that my PNY 4070 Super GPU hits around 87°C during heavy gaming sessions. I have a Corsair 4000D Airflow case with three 120mm intake fans in the front, two on the AIO cooler near the back top, and one exhaust fan. Despite this setup, the GPU fans are super loud under load. I've tried undervolting, but any adjustment results in my PC crashing during high load. Is this temperature normal for this card?

That 87°C isn’t ideal, but it's not catastrophic. Your GPU might throttle a bit at those temps, though. Are you sure your fans are set up correctly? I wonder if any of them are misconfigured and hindering airflow around the GPU. Double-check that you have enough intake fans not mixed up with exhaust fans.
Sounds familiar; my 4070Ti Super used to hit high temps too, dangerously close to 110°C. It unfortunately died after that, so keep an eye on those temps!
I've had my card for a little over a year, and it’s been like this since day one!
It might be normal given your card's specs, but I personally would prefer it cooler. Check if your GPU's dusty. This model isn't the biggest and only has two fans, so it's to be expected that they run loud, but 87°C seems kind of high. According to some reviews, the hotspot should ideally sit around 74-87°C. What settings did you try while undervolting? Maybe experiment with -50mV adjustments? Another idea is to add a couple more fans pointed directly at the GPU for better cooling.
The GPU isn't dusty; I'm quite diligent about keeping my PC clean. This has been the case since I got my pre-built setup a year ago, and I recently changed to a better airflow case but still see the same temps. I’ve had to revert my undervolt completely, so now I’m just adjusting the fan speeds based on the GPU temperature instead.
Wow, I didn’t realize the Asus dual is such a cool card! And it’s so compact too!
With the 4000D case, fan slots are limited. I think you meant three in the front, two on top, and one in the back? Try adjusting the fan curves so they ramp up based on GPU temperature instead of CPU temp, it can make a difference. Also, check for any hot spots around the GPU. If everything feels cool other than the GPU, keep me posted on how changing the fan settings works for you! I also heard thermal paste issues could lead to higher temps. Have you considered that?
You’re right, it’s three in the front, two on the radiator and one exhaust. I’ll try adjusting the fan curve – maybe that’ll help. I haven’t checked on the paste situation yet.
When you say it’s hitting 100%, are you stress testing it or is it just during regular gaming?
Mainly during games like Total Warhammer 3 and Cyberpunk. Benchmarks show similar temperatures.
I've got two fans on the AIO cooler at the back and one at the exhaust vent.
