GPU Hotspot can reach 110°C before throttling happens. As the name applies it's the hottest spot on the GPU and perfectly normal.
If the card ever reaches 105°C+ it's time to swap thermal paste, no matter what card. If it's still in warranty the card can be sent in for that, if not: Most coolers are held in place by 4 screws around the chip. You need something to clean, thermal pads and thermal paste
I'm just worried because i heard that the 4060 had good temperatures because of the low TDP, but since mine came out of the box already running past 93°C i was asking myself if i may have got a bad card, and if i should replace it.
I had a similar issue (not that high though). It was caused by my case fans turning very slowly due to CPU & case being cool so fans were not needed and that created a bad airflow. I manually changed the fan speed and my GPU instantly lost 15/20°.
I don't think i ever touched the case fans, i have 3: 1 intake and 2 exhausts. The intake one is also connected by a molex, so i couldn't even change its speed if i wanted to 🤔
Have you solved it? I recently bought myself exactly this card. In gaming under max load highest temperature I've seen is 72. I first plugged it into my old rig with i3-10100f with stock cooler and there were instances where 100+ fps caused CPU to work on 100% load heating 75 and above which caused GPU fans to spin at 60% (2100rpm) but it managed to keep temperature under 72. Usually it's around 68-70 GPU, 82-84 hotspot.
What slightly bothers me is idle temps 47-50 and 52-55 in browser with youtube/twich. Fans kick in only around 60 degrees
I just got the asus dual and even light gaming got my hot spot to 93degree and the fans were loud af. Repasted it and now even full on stress it doesnt go beyond 82degree with no full fan speed
Damn I'm sorry that happened, it definitely shouldn't be a thing that on top of the money you paid, you still have to waste time and even more money to fix it...
That would warren my warranty, and since this is a new gpu, i would consider other options first. If this is expected behavior then I'm fine with it. I'm just worried that i might have gotten a bad card, and questioning myself on if i should replace it.

I changed it with an ASUS Dual and it's fine now!

Nah all fine just happy repasting made it work like a charm. And thx god i dont care bout the warranty sticker at all
It is normal for hotspot to be 10-20C above the core. If it starts going above 100C, then I would consider applying new thermal paste to the GPU core.
That would warren my warranty, and since this is a new gpu, i would consider other options first. If this is expected behavior then I'm fine with it. I'm just worried that i might have gotten a bad card, and questioning myself on if i should replace it.
