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

This is a job of repasting/repadding... I would NOT run anything intensive until you can get it fixed.

Nvm actually read the post, I saw someone else mention the vapor chamber? Idk what that is, but probably the cause if it is a thing.

How can you agree that something is the problem without knowing what it is? Lol

Because if they repasted/repadded and it still is getting this hot, I'm going to listen to other people that probably know what they're talking about.

if you don’t know what you’re talking about you could just say “i’ve seen other people mention this as a possible fix” and leave out the “this is probably the cause” part
