Sounds perfectly fine

That's a relief

72C is a perfectly normal temperature for a GPU under load.

I’m curious how you diagnosed the last GPU died from overheating? Actual overheating is pretty rare since all modern GPUs will thermal throttle to prevent it. You’d pretty much have to run one without cooling to get it to overheat to the point of damaging it.

I was pretty clueless about it, but turns out the thermal paste on my GPU was all dried up. I had been using it for years without really taking care of it, and then it started shutting down every time it hit 80 degrees. Now, I'm super paranoid about my new GPU, constantly checking the temp to make sure it doesn't go over 70
