AMD Engineer Responds to 7900 XTX 110c Issue!

Let’s get started with AMD! It looks like the whole Junction temperature issue for the rx 7900 series of gpu’s is still evolving. For those who didnt know, the 7900 XTX or even XT for that matter, has a bit of a cooler issues. Specifically , we’re talking about the reference designs, so those that look like this.

So whats the problem ? Well, a lot of people who owns these cards have been reporting really high hot spot temperatures. We’re talking 110 degrees celsius, which is the max the card can hit before starting to throttle. And while AMD said that its within spec, the high temperatures do affect the gaming performance, since the card has to downclock to keep itself cool. AMD even refused warranty service to some customers who were in that situation.

So whats new ? Well, and AMD representative stuck his neck out to respond to the situation on reddit. He says that the company is aware of thes hotspot issue being reported and they’re investigating / correlating steps to reproduce the issue. They’re also collecting serial numbers to see if this issue might be specific to a certain batch of cards. He says that it looks like there were 2 or 3 specific batches, or signatures as he calls them.

He also added that if its a mechanical issue, then RMA your card, I’d say that would only apply if your GPU was outright borked, or if a fan wasnt spinning or something like that. Also, they’re looking for solutions in firmware? Which… I dont know how I feel about that. All I could see that doing would be locking down the boost frequency for better temps, which would mean less auto OC boosting.
