Yes, defective. 71°C I have seen often and I had about the same.
The system works very well, trust me, I've seen Dell and Lenovo systems that will burn your fingers.
And Kepler is not as cool as people might think.

There is no answer to that question, because there are a number of environmental factors that play a part. If it's say 25C outside, then using convection cooling the laws of thermodynamics would dictate that 25C is the floor, or the absolute coolest you could get any component. Someone living near the arctic circle will have very different ranges compared to someone living near the equator.
Your GPU temps do seem a little high, but at the same time if you're trying to play a game in a location in the middle of a heat wave at the hottest part of the day, that might be a perfectly normal temp for the circumstances. Normal in the sense that the cooling system is operating nominally and the high temps are simple physics which cannot be overcome except to make the decision to abstain from gaming during these periods of the day.
If you wish to send the unit in for repair, that's your choice, but depending on several environmental factors, there may be nothing wrong.

Sounds like something is broken with the temp sensor .
There's no technical way for that chip to reach that temperature in 3 secs
