Question 7xxx series AMD cards overheating as explained by Derbauer

[Puffnstuff]

I've seen multiple youtubers talking about this issue and of course AMD states they are researching the issue but well known YouTuber Derbauer has a new video explaining what he's found out using multiple cards. I wonder how AMD will treat their customers over this one after promptly denying the problem's existence when first asked about it.

I just wonder if they only test vertically... 95% probably use it horizontally though.

Still a pretty big oversight. AMD typically has had lackluster reference cards for one reason or another.

Good cards perform within spec both vertically and horizontally.

Interesting, and encouraging news, that they only need to (hypothetically) recall a few (?) bad batches of coolers and replace them, rather than there being an issue with the GPU.

Basically confirmation of der8auers findings. Says only affects small batch/s of XTX made by AMD ref cards. AIB cards are in the clear. Owners with affected cards will have them replaced after contacting support.
