Reply to comment by DJSugarSnatch in AMD says a “limited number” of 7900 XTX GPUs have a thermal throttling problem | Owners of cards with throttling problems are encouraged to contact AMD support. by chrisdh79

No you most definitely didn’t have this same problem lol.

What? With a production issue, where my card would randomly overheat and crash my cpu? Huh... must just be me.

There could be many reasons for a gpu to overheat but the issue with the 7900 xtx has to do with the thermal chamber.

Yeah, I know. I appreciate your concerns about my former Amd purchase. Not many people even care.

It's not right the card is crashing the PC due to the overheating. The throttling should be as far as it goes.

I'd check the ventilation in your case. Maybe you have all coolers blowing out instead of some in and some out or something. Check the temp in idle and load for the CPU as well. It shouldn't be above 40 when you casually browse. Ideally - under 30. GPU might be hotter, depending on your CPU cooler, but still under 40.

It's possible to reapply the thermal paste on the GPU, but likely one needs to go for water cooling, especially if the case is not well designed for air circulation.

Finally, if you use overclock - disable it. The increase in heat is far larger than increase in performance.
