Question Thermal pad thickness for asus strix rx 570 oc 4gb

[dantesrevenge]

I bought a used gpu and decided to change the thermal paste when I opened it there was no thermal pads on anything. The temp reaches 83-84°C and the card underclocks itself to keep it from not heating up.

Usually there are no pads on it, would try 2mm soft ones

sounds like a usual card with this temps

how did you get it to underclock? while doing benchmarks like furmark? this can be ok, if it doesn´t do it while normal gaming
to have a look what the problem could be:
run userbenchmark.com and post the http link of your result, e.g. https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/28977730

Are the fans running?

Is the vBIOS the original one? reflash the orginal to be sure or ask the seller

Is the bios of the motherboard up to date?

All drivers up to date like the chipset and amd.com drivers?

Dell OptiPlex 7010 Performance Results - UserBenchmark

this is my score.
the gpu underclocks itself what i mean by that is its core clock speed hovers at 1100-1250mhz after reaching 82C(its a self protection mechanism to keep it cool)
yes the fans are running at 100 perc
everything is upto date.
ive seen people on youtube get at max 79C on this gpu thats why a bit concerned.

It didn't need pads; those GDDR5 512MB chips don't run hot and thus can be cooled on air alone.

That can easily, EASILY, be from a difference in case ambient temperature between your build and others.
If your ambient is 5C warmer than someone else's, then temperature can be expected to be just that much warmer.
