AMD R9 390X overheating

I want to check with you fine people
But as the title entails
My MSI R9 390X is melting
It is from Overclockers
And it is hitting 85 degrees at 100% fan RPM
Case Fractal design S
X3 Corsair 140AF front
1 fan that came with the case on the bottom of the case
With side panel off it is hitting 84
Ambient room temperature 20 degrees

This is a new thing
When i got it the fan was spinning 60% for 82 degrees maximum
And at the moment if i overclock the card will pass 93 degrees and crash

What are the chances of getting this replaced or fixed?

Forgot to mention
It is the MSI R9 390X
I will love to replace the thermal paste myself
But voiding the warranty is not something i will like to do

double checked on the MSI forum
The word is that the card retains its warranty
if i do not destroy it
Will change the thermal paste after work with some arctic silver 5
I hope temps will go down by more than the original paste

Done
max temps 81 degrees 70% fan RPM
I have to admit as the chip is quite large
I got a significant amount of thermal paste
