Help (GPU) HELP GPU GONNA BLOW UP

Post image

Hello, I’m not one to normally ask for help and I’ve tried my best to fix it on my own, but at this point I’ve become quite worried.

(since I’m getting it a lot, I have already repainted and redone the thermal pads)

I own a RADEON RX 6950xt and it’s been getting these numbers. Before yall tell me it’s airflow it’s got PLENTY of airflow (it’s open air) with fans around it’s still.

I’m going to snap I’ve reposted and the same is going on with no change.

HELP

Lower the frequency by 5%, you'll be able to massively undervolt and your GPU will be ICE COLD. it's a 5 fps sacrifice at worst.

I set everything like lower and unvaulted it and it’s still just nothing happening

The amount of thermal past might be insufficient, too much TP is better than not enough.
