AMD's RX 7900 XTX: High Performance, High Temperatures, and High Costs
PowerColor's RX 7900 XTX Red Devil graphics card has been found to suffer from high GPU temperatures due to incorrect application of thermal compound. A reviewer disassembled the card and found that the thermal paste had uneven distribution on the die. PowerColor has confirmed the issue and promised to implement new thermal grease and change how the cooler was installed. The company claims that this issue affected a small percentage of the cards, but it is unclear if the same problem could have affected other models that were on the same production line.
