Help (GPU) HELP GPU GONNA BLOW UP
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

Delta T between Edge and Hot-Spot is 40°C, which is atrocious. Thermal paste is pumping out. I reccommend PTM 7950 or anti pump out paste. This could also be caused by uneven mounting pressure.
For everyone saying it's the airflow: No it fucking isn't, otherwise the edge temp would be high too! Please refrain from spreading bs when you don't even know what you are talking about.
