We say over and over again not to buy OEM design GPUs, yet people still do it.
No, your card does not have sufficient cooling for compute. Stress testing with Furmark is nothing compared to cracking ALU-bound hash algorithms. The cooler on your card is designed for gaming workloads, and will have a hard time coping with compute workloads.
That said, you should not be overheating that quickly. Sounds like you have a defective GPU.
