I just got a Amd RX 5700 XT and its having problems playing a game, and my screen saver is all messed up as well as it will not play scarygirl game I just bought. I have tried several different drivers such as 19.9.2, 19.9.3, 20.1.3, and 20.2.2 all with the same results. My gpu temp shows up at around 35c~, with the fan showing 0 movement. I can change the fan curve all the way up to 100% right off the bat, and can hear the vacuum in my case going crazy at that point, but even still it says there is a 0% fan movement being registered with the amd software, though I can hear it going at 100% speed.
So what is it I am doing wrong with this and getting these types of readings with my card. I have so far used Gpuz to make sure this card was not a a RX 5700 flashed to a XT and all specs show up correctly as it being a true 5700xt card. I have also looked at the PCB board and made sure all the stuff on it matches a 5700 XT board as well, since the 5700 does look a little different as it is missing some pieces found on a XT unit. I had a RX 580 before this and had 0 problems like this with it. I did uninstall the driver from it, the 580, and removed all left overs in registry to boot. I tried to play Crash Bandicoot, and was able to play one level and seemed to work ok with that. But upon ending the game to select a the 3rd game of crash, my system with into a green screen with no text, and then rebooted itself. I also tried to play Madden 20 on it, and the screen kept going from full screen to a minimized one, and forcing me to click on the screen mid game with my mouse, to get it back into full screen. This happens about every 5 minutes or so, very annoying.
Is this card fubar? When I took the heatsink off to look at the board I redid the gpu die with my arctic ceramic paste, correctly, spread out, not the crazy put a pea on it, and let the heatsink spread it. This is the way I been doing it with a credit card for over 2 decades with only having messed up 2 times that I can recall. So any ideas? I watched a gamers nexus video explaining the junction temp, and said its normal, according to amd to run at 110c, but im seeing 900+c, so way off from the "norm" that the video had suggested. Any help would be greatly appreciated. OH and Im not over clocking, nor over volting this card in any way. I did buy it used, but he didnt report having any problems at all with it.
