Question RX 580 High Temperatures At Full Fan Speed

[ElijahThomas822]

Hello, my RX 580 is overheating. I get 85+ celsius with full fan speed; and it will even cross 90 sometimes. I believe this causes lag spikes and low fps in games. I have used canned air many times to clean out dust from the GPU, and am a bit nervous about taking the whole thing apart and cleaning it. Is there any way to lower the temperature without taking apart the whole card? Or will I end up having to do that?

My full specs:
RX 580 4GB
I7-7700K
MSI B250M BAZOOKA
16 GB of RAM

Drivers are up to date.

You need to replace the thermal paste on the GPU.

It is super easy and only a few screws on the back plate and maybe a connector or two. Once you replace it you should see your temps decrease.

Thank you so much, I replaced the thermal paste and I saw a 20-degree temperature drop. That sucker barely had any thermal paste on it. Thanks again!
