Some AMD Radeon RX 7900 Cards Are Reportedly Hitting 110°C

It seems that some reviewers are reporting a temperature spike in a number of of AMD’s Radeon RX 7900 Sequence graphics playing cards. Apparently, this spike can go as excessive as 110°C and its relegated in direction of the hotspot of the playing cards’ GPU.

One website, the Germany-based Hardwareluxx, famous that the problem appears to solely have an effect on RX 7900 XTX and XT Made By AMD (MBA) reference playing cards, and to that finish, the chipmaker says that it’s conscious of the problem and already wanting into it. On a associated be aware, deltas of 30°C between the GPU and their scorching spot temperatures usually are not unusual and in some instances, the quantity for the latter part can go greater than the remainder of the GPU.

In our overview of the Radeon RX 7900 XTX, our hotspot temperatures by no means went past 88°C, and the delta between it and our precise GPU temperature at load averaged round 10°C.

As per Hardwareluxx’s observations, some AIB companions that promote their RX 7900 Sequence playing cards with AMD’s reference coolers, reminiscent of PowerColor had delta gaps as massive as 53°C. Worse nonetheless, when the hotspot temperatures hit 110°C, the GPU would then start to throttle itself, lowering its clocks, even when it operating at full load and nonetheless effectively beneath its energy restrict.

One RX 7900 XTX proprietor on the AMD subreddit confirmed this suspicion; with the cardboard firmly put in into his PC, the hotspot temperatures have been hitting 110°C. Nevertheless, as soon as he laid his casing down on its aspect, it really decreased dramatically, all the way down to 75°C.

To be truthful, Hardwareluxx technically isn’t the primary tech reviewer to have found this concern. US-based Techtuber Players Nexus (GN) had initially observed this concern in its overview of the RX 7900 XTX and even got here to the conclusion that the AMD reference shroud was comparatively shoddy, though its total temperatures with the cardboard wasn’t significantly affected.
