I have that same GPU.
If you bought that over 6 months ago you need to contact EVGA and get the free thermal pads for the VRM. Re-Do the thermal paste while your in there, they include a free thing of compound
It was a refurb from newegg. Purchased ~1 month ago

The messy cables, in your case aren't the problem. I would use EVGA Precision X instead of MSI ASfterburner. They are practically the same program, but Precision is made for EVGA cards.
OR...turn up the fan speed/curve a bit.
I just adjusted the fan curve on MSI afterburner. Let's see if it helps.

Hmm that card should not run 90c
what % are the gpu fans running at when it reaches that temp?
Use afterburner to control your gpu fan curve, what's your room ambient temperature?
if anything, EVGA has gfg customer service. If your room is not an oven explain your problem, and they'll replace it np.
Room temp is cold. Comp is in basement which is always very cold. Fans are running 90% once it reaches 70C
