Fury temperature accuracy

Silly question. I picked up a fire sale Sapphire Nitro R9 Fury Tri-X OC+ and have been blown away by how cool the card runs. 22C idle and I have yet to see a load temp higher than 55C.
The day I installed the card I played some Rocket League and happened to look in the case and discovered the fans on the card weren't spinning. Just about **** a brick and shut the game down. Checked temps and card was reporting 35C. Decided to log temps and fire Rocket League back up, Gpu temp never went over 37C with the fans on the card completely shut down aside from a couple seconds at 1500rpm.

Anyway, Wondering if anyone else has had reason to think their Fury wasn't reporting an accurate temperature or any other thoughts? From what I have seen in reviews most Fury pro's run around 70 - 80C.
 
My Sapphire idles about 37c and when gaming tops out about 70c but the fans are very silent. The Sapphire Tri-X cooler is awesome and doesn't start spinning until the card reaches about 50c. I use the Trixx utility and the fan speed under load gets to about 1500 rpm.
 
Those temps are about what I would have expected. I have been using WattMan in the drivers to force 1200 rpm minimum while gaming, but the highest temp I have seen so far is 55 - 56c from firestrike. Haven't tried the dx12 benchmark yet though.
Starting to wonder if my old sandy bridge is bottle necking the fury.
 


This is my my custom fan speed with Nitro Fury. It worked great. Almost all of my games that always load at 60-63C and idle is 32C with no fan spinning. I also used to had MSI afterburner long ago, but I stopped using it because I had issues with it then switched to Sapphire Trixx. It worked flawless for me. I LOVED THIS CARD! But I still need to upgrade my CPU because of this card. I'll get a Ryzen R7 1700X someday.

Up until last month I had a 2500K and I never felt that was bottle necking my Fury Pro. It definitely isn't now with my 7700K. Also I have the original Sapphire card where yours is the new Nitro so there might be a difference.

Could be the cooler is just that good. Ambient temp is also on the cool side so that definitely makes a difference. Planning an upgrade in the spring anyway, either Ryzen or 7700K and a 1440 freesync monitor.

You need to definitely get a freesync monitor. I have one and it's awesome. Can't praise it enough really. CPU wise I went 7700K but Ryzen looks good if you need the extra cores. If not make a choice.
