The latest graphics cards AMD debuted in December 2022. And although 5 months have passed since then, only two models are still available in stores. At the time NVIDIA already showed four. The Reds did just that Radeona RX 7900 XT and RX 7900 XTX.
Do you have Radeon by PowerColor? Check the temperatures!
Thus, AMD has neither the strongest nor the cheapest graphics cards in the current generation. In both cases, the title belongs to the Greens. Of course, this may change over time, because both companies plan to release more, much cheaper models like Radeon RX 7600 Whether GeForce RTX 4060 Ti.
However, it seems that The current AMD Radeon RX 7000 graphics cards are not without their flaws. At least when it comes to original models PowerColor. German editorial office Igor’sLAB she discovered problem with high temperatures, especially when it comes to the difference between the average GPU temperature and the so-called hotspot. We are talking about the more expensive PowerColor Radeon RX 7900 XTX Red Devil model.
The German decided to disassemble the card for analysis and the culprit was visible at first glance. There was a lot of thermal paste on the core, but it was applied in the wrong way. The GPU part was not covered at all. Clearing and the manual application of the paste allowed to significantly reduce the temperature. average value from 80°C it decreased to 75°Cand the hot-spot temperature z 110°C do 93-95°C.
Igor’sLAB contacted PowerColor. The Taiwanese confirmed that there was a problem on the assembly line. It has already been resolved, however it affected only a fraction of the graphics cards produced. It is not known whether it concerned only the Red Devil model, but Igor’sLAB claims that it is not.
We have identified an issue on the production line where some cards are experiencing higher hot-spot temperatures than usual. We have verified that this is the case for a small percentage of total production and we are already in the process of replacing the thermal paste. Thanks to the new information from Igor’sLab, we are also checking whether changing the way the cooler is mounted on the card will improve thermal performance. We are working to resolve this situation as soon as possible to provide our customers with the highest quality products. If anyone is experiencing this issue, please contact us at info@powercolor.com
Look: Crucial Pro is a new series of DDR4 and DDR5 RAM
Look: Violet thermal paste. Does it make sense? (Test)
