Whats normal temp for GPU?

That makes no sense whatsoever - how could the card have gotten hotter with a more aggresive fan profile?
That would only ever happen if it was blowing hotter ambient air in to the gou than the gpu currently was - which isn't possible.
You must not be setting the fan profile correctly, I'm afraid.
Hold up and i will try find a pic of what an aggresive profile would look like in afterburner.
Use a 480 and then tell me this is hot! Pah, it's barely warmed up! 
But seriously, have you checked to see if the fans are spinning?
There isn't a large dust build up on the card is there?
When the card is at max heat, what is the case and CPU temperature?

You are more than welcome to teamviewer and set up a fan profile for me but last time i did that my games were running the card upto 96C

Something like that, although you could have the fan spin up to 90-100% if temps get above 80deg.

Mine was almost identical to that,someone on toms hardware helped me with the fan profile and it made the card sooooooo hot (96C...i say again lol) then it was members on this forum told me to not have it on my own profile EVER,so i took it off

a previous comment said stick the fan on 100% and see what temps you get
I thought the first thing you'd do is take the overclock off tho

What are your fan setups like? Have you got any exhausts near the GPU which could be stealing air from it (e.g case side panel)? I'm not entirely sure what the issue would be but the temperatures seem quite high so it might be worth looking at your case cooling to see if the GPU area is getting appropriate airflow.

The exact card i got is from here but this forum wont let me post link,it ************* it all out
http://www.************/products/2g...r5-gpu-925mhz-1280-cores-hdmi-dl-dvi-i-2x-min
Where the stars are it is www scan dot co dot uk
My card says
Core Clock: 925 MHz Boost Clock: 975 MHz so i dont think it is overclocked and GPUZ says my default is the same
@Smoogels
My case is Sharkoon T9 w/cable management

The speeds I posted were from the link in the original post, the speeds you posted were higher, hence why I think you've overclocked it in afterburner.
I posted amazon link because scan link didnt work,my apologies but the fact still remains all my games run at 86C and higher and im about to burn this mah****a out of rage as everyone keeps telling me online and on phone and to my face that its too hot but not 1 person has a fix,forgive my anger but this has cost me a lot and i mean a lot of money and i just want **** to work for once

We've just been following the information... we've ruled out a case airflow problem because the rest of your components are okay and your case looks clean and tidy... I think we've settled on the card not being overclocked now... so I think we have 2 options:
A. There's doubt over whether your fan profile is working properly.
B. The card is dodgy.

If the card IS dodgy im gonna go off,they sent me a busted 1 already,this 1 im using is the replacement. Would you be willing to do a fan profile for me? Teamviewer? The last 1 i had ****ed me royally

nah I said before it's not my thing - wouldn't want to break it
Ight mate,well looks like im still without any knowledge of whats causing the overheat,should have just waited for PS4 instead of getting a gaming PC,****ing headache
Your card comes stock as overclocked. It has one fan. It will get to those temperatures in this weather. My old stock card reached mid 90c with the stock fan. I cannot explain why the fan is not doing its job though. I presume you have set the fan to 100% in catalyst control centre?
Set it to 100% just to confirm it is working. If it is, then we can proceed from there.

Try setting it to a lower value, say 75 - 85%. It will be loud, but we are just testing it. Try and play a game now, for example, Battlefield 3 for about 5 - 10 minutes and then report back with the temperatures. If they are lower, then we can setup a custom fan profile

You need to see what temps you are getting with the fan on 100% while the gpu is under load (gaming or running a benchmark) and then can work back from there to find a suitable fan profile which will trade-off noise for temps.
To be honest with you though, 86degs isn't that hot, given the temps wehave been getting lately. My 5870 would often go above 90degs and it never really bothered me. The cards have a thermal cut-off at which point the core will throttle down (reducing performance obviously).
