[SOLVED] XFX RX580 doesn`t work properly after reassembling

[iamamirali]

Hi,
I disassembled my xfx rx580 from the guard to its fan blades in order to clean them with standard tools.
but after reassembling the graphics card and running pes 2021, the metrics overlay shows 500fps and 90deg temperature in the main menu and the pc turns off after 1 minute!!!
this thing hasn`t happened before.
I would be thankful to give me a tip to fix this problem 🙁

My pc specs are these:
gpu: xfx rx580
ram: 8g
cpu: i3 4160
windows 10

The heatsink is probably no longer touching the GPU die. That's the cause of the high temperatures. You need to re-assemble it and probably change the thermal paste now.
