I meant NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel all have different ideas of where to place their thermal sensors inside their processors.
You can't make a meaningful comparison out of an RTX 40 card reporting 80°C hotspot to a Radeon GPU hotspot reporting 90°C.
NVIDIA hid the hotspot sensor for RTX 50 chips probably because they changed the sensor location to report hotter temperatures, and people would freak out about the difference compared to older cards.

I'd keep that Steel Legend if you're happy with it.
Their official spec/dimensions claim Steel Legend is a 2.9 slot card while the Prime is a 2.5 slotter.
Usually, the thicker card should have a larger heatsink and help the card run quieter.
But some manufacturers just use a big plastic shroud to hide the actual thickness of the heat sink.
