Question Rx 5700xt hot

[SmugAchiever999]

Hi, I just bought a used Rx5700XT Taichi OC. It has a massive cooler and is supposed to run at about 75c @100% utilization. Instead, it is running at 102 degrees C at 100% utilization. It isn't very dusty, the drivers are up to date, and my side panel is off. It is currently 71 degrees F in my house. What do you suggest that I do?

Can you please include the make and model of your chassis? If the case has fans in it, please state their orientation(and if possible, their makes and models, perhaps their RPM's as well)?

H510 with 2 140mm Be Quiet! pure wings as intake (front) 2 120mm NZXT fans as exhaust (Rear and top). The PSU fan is pointed inside toward the GPU (I got the orientation mixed up LOL). Ryzen 7 5800x with wraith prism stock cooler. Both side panels are open as well.

Are the fans on GPU actually spinning?

Yes.

Have you disassembled it and re-pasted it?
Maybe the thermal paste is wicked old, or the person who sold it to you just cleaned it up for it to look good and forgot to add the thermal paste. I'd rule that out before continuing with any other testing.

The warranty void sticker is on there and in perfect condition. If i re-paste it, they might not take the card back if I have to return it. I just tried a custom 100% curve as well and even that won't help it.

Sounds defective. Return for refund.

You're cracked, my guy. I yoloed it, re-pasted the card, and it seems fine now Now, do you mark it as solved? thanks a lot!
