[SOLVED] High RX 570 GPU temperatures

Hello ladies and gents. I recently bought a Gigabyte RX 570 4GB and I noticed that the temperatures exceed 75 degrees and almost top 80 degrees during heavy load. Besides that my PSU, which is a DeepCool DE480 Black with an 8-pin Power connector, presumably overheats, because the top pannel of the case adjacent to the PSU gets really hot. When I take off the side panel from the case the core temperature drops by about 5 degrees Celsius, which is pretty significant, so I figured it might be the power supply which causes the rise in temperature and turns my case into a furnace. One thing to note is that my GPU is slightly overclocked (stock voltages, the maximum being 1150, core clock of 1350 mhz, 105 more than the default setting, and the Power limit is set to 35%). On the other hand, even during heavy load(99-100%), MSi Afterburner indicates a GPU core clock of around 1150 mhz which is constantly fluctuating.

Do you guys have any advice on what I should do to fix this issue? I tried undervolting the GPU by 100 mv and the temperature drops to by about 15 degrees, along with the FPS, but I want to get the best out of it.
 
Solution
Set the power limit to full. And yes as far as I remember AMD has increased peak voltages though I am not 100% sure. My RX 460 has been overheating since few drivers back.

I did a benchmark just now and it seems the framerate doesn't drop with undervolted GPU. But I still wonder why the frequency is fluctuating. I feel like I'm not unleashing the full potential of my RX 570.

One of the recent driver undates has screwed up the temp sensor, for the time being it's is recommended that in msi after burner you set fan speed permenitaly to max till the sensor has been fixed it's been reporting improper temps and when reporting proper temps failong to initialize the fan as is suppose to. This happens from time to time on every card and every brand. It's just new drivers crashing with older drivers and no one getting along anymore amd will fix this. As for the clock speeds adjusting constantly, they do that there meant to. It"s not like a cpu where speed stepping is a option they speed step to transition through texture packs and everythings else trying to decode at a seemingly smooth pace, otherwise might as well be looking at a lightbulb
