Question Hotspot Temperature Alarm ?

I have a XFX Speedster MERC319 Radeon RX 6750XT Black GPU.

What I am assuming is the hotspot temperature alarm on this card goes off any time my hotspot reaches 80deg and is driving me crazy. 80deg for this card is way too low when the thermal throttle is 110deg. In some games, I can often reach 80deg, with highest I've ever remembered being around 86deg, with a 20-ish deg delta. It doesn't look like the card is throttling. No reason for the alarm to be screaming at these temps. I've tried repasting the gpu and replacing pads in hopes of bringing the temperatures down, with minimal effect overall.

Simply put, does anyone know of a way to disable the hotspot temperature alarm on this card (or to change it to go off at a higher temp)? I can find no setting anywhere about this alarm.
 
how does this alarm comes up? Which tool?
There is no visual alarm, no notification, no pop-up, nothing in Windows. The sound comes from the GPU (maybe the motherboard?) ...somewhere inside my case and is a shrilly tone alarm that *seems* to come on whenever my hotspot reaches 80C. As I said in my previous, it doesn't seem to be software-related, seems to be hardware-related. I've looked all over in the bios, found nothing referencing any alarms. I'm at a loss.

GPU doesn't have speaker in it that makes itself beep and sound alarms. Heck even most MoBos doesn't have speakers, but one can be added if MoBo has pins for internal speaker.

I agree with above, that video of the alarm would be helpful.
E.g upload the vid to Youtube or other similar site.

Also, make sure from where the sound actually comes from. Open up the side panel of your PC case and put your ear to it, to locate the source of the audible alarm.
