Actually, not all RX6000s have done the same thing - owner of one. It is unacceptable for a product to exhibit such erratic thermal behavior between pieces from the same batch. And it makes no difference whether AMD considers this "normal" as long as the card throttles and limits performance.Rx6000 series did the same thing, Hotspot 110c core 70c.
It boosted up to 110c or at its MHz cap.
It was the design, not a flaw - I don't understand why people freak out about it.
Just buy a waterblock if you are concerned.
To be a tad more pedantic: the Vapour chamber may have a design flaw or defect which is preventing it from correctly moving the heat away from the chip when it's in horizontal mounting position, but has no problems with vertical alignment.der8auer just released a video about this. It appears that it is vapor chamber dry out. He was able to confirm that it is not mounting pressure, design, thermal limits or any other such nonsense. It is vapor chamber dry out.

I'm thinking that there's some sort of peak heat saturation going on that is breaking the evaporation - condensation cycle when cards are mounted horizontally. Not enough sintering maybe...?To be a tad more pedantic: the Vapour chamber may have a design flaw or defect which is preventing it from correctly moving the heat away from the chip when it's in horizontal mounting position, but has no problems with vertical alignment.
AMD better have a recall process ready on the first week of Jan, because most people uses horizontal mounting.
