As the title suggests I am having problems with my Vega 56 red dragon after changing out the old thermal pads and paste for better quality ones. I have applied Thermal grizzly konductonaut to the HBM and chip dies and used minus 8 pads on the VRM components.
However the card now throttles extremely heavly as soon as I put it under any work load and on some occasions crashes. The temps of the chip and HBM are fine. High 50,s to low 60,s on the core and 70 ish on the HBM. The VRM temps looks fine too as observed through HWinfo.
However as I said it throttles quickly when put under load reducing quickly from 1550 to around 1400 and then further reducing as time goes on. The power draw sits at only 160W under load when it used to draw 240W when undervolted so the card is restricting power but I can't see why looking at the temps.
The only thing I can see wrong is the Hot spot temperature jumps to over 100 very quickly when the card goes to work. And I have seen it hit 110 which seems ridiculously high. Could this be throttling card? I have no idea where the sensor is so I am having trouble working out the problem area.
I have screwed the cooler back on as hard as I can get it and all of the components that require direct cooling from the thermal pads are making good contact so I don't understand what's going on.
Can anyone advise a solution or is this a case of a damaged component during the job do we think? (Which I hope to god it isn't)
Cheers Frank
