Just go PTM7950 and be done with it.

Checking in again with my undervolt, these settings appear to be the final iteration. It seems either my card (or RDNA3 in general) is very touchy with its VRAM so that can't be pushed very hard at all. I can't push the clocks any higher without getting timeouts and I can't push the power draw any lower without getting timeouts. So these settings are it, and they work very nicely!

Oh, also: Stable Diffusion makes for an excellent test of undervolt stability. It pushes your card (both GPU and VRAM) really hard when you're generating images so you can monitor heat and find crashes quite quickly. And you can easily tell if something is wrong because you will get blank/corrupted images if you're pushing things too far (this is very apparent with VRAM tweaking).

CARBONAUT

KRYOSHEET

Carbonaut is for sure going to be the worst, not even worth considering. There seems to be no real advantage from kryosheet vs high end paste thermally but it's also going to be electrically conductive, so there is a potential to screw things up. PTM7950 seems to be the best choice.

physicsjunky · May 15, 2024

My GPU is already set up to use electrically conductive TIMs. I previously used liquid metal but after a good 6ish months it screwed up my thermals and I'm not sure how it happened.
Could it be my coating around the die preventing decent contact to the coldplate? I check to see if it was taller then die but i couldn't tell.
It is Nickel plated Copper BTW.

Something is not right, 110C with LM should not happen.

I'm not sure about your card, but as I've seen with my 7800 XT, RDNA 3 is heavily power limited. Any slight touch of the VRAM eats into the whole card's power allocation.

That was a heavy overclock that was at acceptable temps for the first 5 months. After that my idle temps shot up from 33-42C to 42-50C and temps went whack, I tried redoing the LM application a few times it didn't work. Since then I took 7000 Grit sand paper and got rid of the hardened LM and went back to thermal past (XTM-50).
The thermal paste brought idle temps back down too 33-42C but temps while gaming with an UV and no OC will still skyrocket with 165 FPS cap and Ultra setting=110C on the hotspot. I used to hit power limit (430W) wayy before any temp limits.

I no longer push an overclock UNLESS there is some headroom.

I am not promoting this channel but some nice assessment on the eco system from a new user.

Decided to try and get a better pic of my powercolor hellhound 7900gre
Everything has been stable and running great so far to and temps seem great.

Nice! It seems we share excellent taste in CPU cooler, I have the TR PA120 SE as well! :toast:

But it's in my 2nd rig, when the AIO in my main rig shows signs of dying, I'll swap it for whichever TR flagship cooler that is available at the time. It's great to see TR making a comeback after all these years, they used to be my go to brand back in the days. Oh yeah, your Hellhound RX 7900GRE looks great too....

Thank you

I got the CPU cooler for free and it's been great

So what are your hotspot temps at stock ? and at how much total board power ?

physicsjunky · 2024-05-30T18:58:45+0100

I played CP 2077 for 20 minutes at stock settings and here is the result.

My case fans were set to full speed to help with temps.

Kabouter Plop · 2024-05-30T19:01:19+0100

332 board power and hitting 110c hotspot is not normal i believe stock is 355 tbp yours is throttling by the looks of it.

physicsjunky · 2024-05-30T19:22:57+0100

Yep it sure is. Whenever the gpu goes over 300 Watts that's when the hotspot temp shoots up.

Kabouter Plop · 2024-05-30T19:23:35+0100

Was it this bad on day 1 when you just did repaste as well ?

physicsjunky · 2024-05-30T19:31:35+0100

No the gpu temps where amazing for the first 8 months even with LM but somthing messed up after that.

Kabouter Plop · 2024-05-30T19:33:41+0100

Wonder if PTM7950 can help but you need the right thickness for the pads and good contact with gpu core as well or it wont make a difference, if it does work i would never remove it.

physicsjunky · 2024-05-30T19:46:29+0100

yeah i tried fixing by repasting it so many times with both LM and my only paste XTM-50. It looks like pump out to me.

Kabouter Plop · 2024-05-30T19:50:09+0100

If you get instantly bad temps after re applying it might be contact issue, if you can fix that go PTM7950 it should no longer pump out.
