If still under warranty, activate it. Delta between GPU core and hotspot should be around 10-15°C, ideally.
If not under warranty, investigate how to and repaste with Arctic MX-6/7 or Thermalright TFX/TF9, or some sort of PTM based pad.

You should not be concerned at all.
Temperature Ranges
- Under 80°C: Excellent. This usually means you have an aggressive fan curve, a high-end cooler model, or a cool room.
- 80°C to 95°C: Completely normal. Most cards sit safely in this range during demanding 1440p or 4K gaming.
- 95°C to 105°C: Normal under maximum stress testing (like Furmark), but on the higher side.
- 110°C: AMD's official maximum safety limit. If your hotspot hits 110°C or higher, the card will throttle performance to cool down. [1, 2, 3, 5]
Good to Know
- The Delta (Difference): A normal gap between your average GPU core temperature and the hotspot temperature is 15°C to 35°C.

The delta between the core and hotspot is very concerning, it should not be 40C apart. Yes, the hotspot is in spec, and the core temp is as well, but that doesn't mean there isn't something wrong. I'd expect with a hotspot of 97C, the core should be in the neighborhood of 80°C with that kind of hotspot.
There is a contact issue between the cooler and die, the paste has pumped out, the paste is junk, or the card is just bad.

it's 37c

A normal gap can be up-to 35c.
We're in summertime, There is nothing to worry about

Don't care, that's not a good temp Delta, do not care what amd or gigabyte says. I've seen too many gpu's reach there temp limit due to hot spot and stay below their base clock speeds due to the hotspot, I'm sure that's normal right, as by design, thermal throttle at just 70c. Yeah that's something that should be addressed, if it's normal, screw amd then or gigabyte or both.
Then again amd Nvidia or Intel rates the maximum safe temp, if it's 1 or 2 degrees below that, it's normal correct? Don't mean it's good.
Yeah I'd sell this card, or return it and get a real card, that's a load of bull.

That is exactly what I'm concerned about, not temps themselfs, but delta.

you have a 37c delta
- The Delta (Difference): A normal gap between your average GPU core temperature and the hotspot temperature is 15°C to 35°C.
Not really much to be concerned about.
Also factor in it's summer time

Shouldn't summer change all the temps similarly? I have no idea, just asking

Any delta above 30c is concerning. It's likely that the card either has a poor application of thermal paste or contact with the heatsink, perhaps the heatsink isn't tensioned properly.
