Its as I said really. Doesn't make sense to me.
 
91C on the GPU or the hot spot?
 
Hits what in Timespy extreme or other 4k games or bench? Why the surprise?

Alt R, check fan profile, voltage curve and power limit in AMD software.
 
Make sure you turn off the zero fan feature. Download AMD software it is very different from Nvidia settings so prepared to be blown away. The zero fan feature is set to have the fans not turn on until the GPU hits 50 C. When you then have the GPU turn up in frequency the fans will have to work that much harder. The toxic is a serious card and should not be that high in temp if you have configured it properly.

 
Thought you bought it as "B stock"
 
Post GPU-Z screenshot.
 
RDNA2 don't throttle until 110+°C hotspot, so it's fine from that standpoint. The only thing you can try is use a new thermal paste that's more suited for GPU use (high viscosity, like Thermalright TFX) and don't exhibit pump-out issues.

I would not take a GPU apart for the first time unless I was technically proficient enough. It is straight forward but still really easy to do something to hurt the card.

I swear the best thing I like about you is how you always try to help people with GPU problems.
 
pretty normal temps for RDNA2... (can only be hotspot)
 
Just messed about with fan curves so got the heat under control with 100% fan speed.

Erm... Okay. How?

Let the sensor tab run in the background while you play warzone, then alt tab and take a screenshot of the sensor tab.

And/or Aterburner/RTSS OSD.

I'll do that. Just going to have some "medication" and I'll report back.

Just fyi, 91 celsius hotspot temperature is normal, its also called Junction temperature. - my 6800 xt hits 89 celsius junction/hotspot and 62 celsius core temps all the time in gaming, it is very normal, don't let a hot spot/junction temp upset you, pretend it doesn't exist, in years past, the only temp you saw was core, and your hotspot was probably the same as it is now.

also sidenote, I was in England this year for awhile, would have been neat to get a TPU meetup done for a few of us, maybe in the future
 

play a game with gpu-z running. then after 5 minutes of playing the game or so, close the game, then go to gpu z and double click the temp area next to gpu temp and gpu temp hot spot, that will give you the max temp readout, then screenshot that and return to us

Well it scares me...

I have severe anxiety, so I won't be going...
 
I've seen temps of 96C, I'm sending it back.
 
Hi,
Yeah seems silly hot to me frankly.
This hotpot nonsense doesn't give me any good feelings for amd gpu products.
 
Can you make a screenshot where you see that.
In warzone whilst dropping in.

Scared to even play a game in case it goes bang. This is only 87 but it can't be right with the fans at 100%?
