I recently bought a XFX RX580 GTS Black Edition and i undervolted it on the vcore and memory but it still hits 89°C when playing something very graphicly taxing like Apex Legends. Before i bought this 580 model i googled alot and looked up many benchmarks and everyone of them where like in the mid 70°Cs to max 80°C. I have a beQuiet silent base 600 with 2 140mm fans in the front, 1 140mm at the bottom and 1 120mm at the back so i think my ventilation should not be an issue. Even with all case fans maxed out it hits the 89°C mark. Maybe it's the thermal compound? I've set my power limit from +50% to stock but that didnt change anything. On the highest clock of 1405MHz i have 1130mV running and the memory is on 2000MHz timing-level 1 at 900mV. I could turn up the fan curved but like i said the benchmarks i have seen had the fans mostly on stock and it was running cooler then mine.

Ty for any suggestions

For example in this benchmark you can see that the card will hover in the mid 70 on stock settings: https://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/xfx_radeon_rx580_8gb_black_edition/9.htm

So, i decided to open up my xfx and take look at the thermal paste. it was so dry and as hard as a stone. i renewed it and the temps were much more acceptable and didnt raise that quick anymore. I also changed the fan profile inside wattman so that it turns the fans at 55-60% on 70-75°C (basiacally the stock settings but just instead of the 80°C target i pulled it to 70-75°). And now its, depending on the load, in the low to high 70°s + -90mv undervolt and 1450 overlock. The fans are "louder" but my silent base 600 is doing a great job and it went silent as i plugged in my headphones.
