Question AMD Radeon RX 6600XT gpu core and hot spot temperatures difference

[Slaven19]

Hello,i built my new pc less than year ago and i always had problem with unexpected shut downs while gaming,no errors reported anywhere.

I noticed that my GPU temperature is max 75C while gaming,which should be fine.But my hotspot temperature is almost always 109C which is max.

I can see that in radeon software or HW Info.

I heard that this may mean that thermal paste pumped out because of this big difference of 34-35C between sensors.

My GPU is under warranty i bought it 9 months ago so should i replace it?

That shows you need better case cooling.
