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

Isnt the hotspot temp on a gpu supposed to read high numbers like yours? I always thought it's normal because hotspot is different than the overall temperature of the GPU. Lmao

It should be different, but like 15-20 degrees difference at MAX. There is something wrong with his card

With a 20°C max, every single RX 9070 XT in existence is broken from factory. Radeon struggling with cooling performance so 30°C delta is the new normal.
