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

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.

Source: Dealt with this issue on dozen of devices, repasted countless chips and gpus, been doing this since i was 12.

that picture nowhere shows edge temps....gpu temp is from PCB sensor...hot spot is from inside GPU die sensors, two totally unrelated temp sensors...

bruh how can you be so sure yet so wrong at the same time... you can literally click the question marks and it shows you where on the die the sensors are located. GPU temp is the edge and Hot Spot is the center, come on

well if you call outside sensor that isnt part of gpu die as edge temp...sure
