Hello. My PowerColor RX 570 4GB used to run at 83c full load on max clock. I thought that temperature was high so I replace the thermal paste myself.
After putting all back in, I notice the 15c degree temperature drop to 68c. But my clock runs significantly slower and the result is 20% worse in superposition.
I noticed that my vrm thermal pad was ripped. My vram pads is still intact.
Any possible solution? I already ordered a new thermal pads for my vrm. But will it fix the throttling?
As far as I know, only vrm and vram use thermal pads. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Any other possibilities that I've overlooked?
Edit:
- My Gpu temp reading was 68c. Was it only the gpu chop or it includes vram and vrm temp. I thought that something is holding the gpu clock down.
