The 6950xt is a wonderful card but I own the sapphire pulse version. I have an asrock Taichi 6800xt which looks very similar to this, hot spot can be over 20C difference than the rest of the chip.
1. Using zipfan code where do i have to go to make payments?
2. Can i pay the total of a graphics card all at once or am I tied each month small payments??
I have this. I average around 280w during gaming. Not overclocked but undervolted. It requires 3x 8pins. I daisy chained my last 8 pin because the cooler master sfx gold 850w won't play nice with the other PCIe cables I have from other psu. My pc stopped booting the other day and I suspect it was due to me daisy chaining but cooler master doesn't seem to sell individual cables so I am thinking of switching to a gpu that draws less power.
But the gpu is a beast. If you don't mind the high power drawing, this old flagship does not stutter.
I needed a 6800xt and 6950xt for macOS OpenCore hackintosh support. If I didn't need macOS support I'd 99% certainly go for the newer 7800xt (lower power, comparable performance, AV1 encoding)

I dont believe you should mix and match pcie cables from different power supplies. I've been told this can ruin the psu. Might want to look into it if this is what you are doing.

Possible….cooler master support seems to be non existent as it's been over a week since I reached out to them and heard nothing. I haven't mixed and matched the PCIe cables because the cooler master psu wouldn't even take it to begin with.

My rx7900xt pulls 300ish on 2 cables.. the older designs were trash requiring 3 cables

Are you on the latest MacOs with your hackintosh? Additionally do peripherals work such as airdrop?
6950 xt 20c hotspot difference is normal. my xfx 6950 xt is a beast. 4k60fps in new games and 3440x1440 100fps beast. highest temp it reaches while gaming is like 95c

I think there is a big difference in the price...
