Insane GPU Temp

[tahmidkhan123]

I got my xfx rx470 about a month or so ago and all has been well. Today, I turned on my pc and went downstairs for a little bit to make some food. When I came up, I started using it, nothing out of the oridinary but then I notice the max gpu temp on open hardware monitor: 112 degrees celcius. WHAT!!? that's insane considering that it was running at 55 ish and idles around 30ish. Even under gaming, I've never had it exceed 72 degrees. I immedietly ran a unigine heaven benchmark to see if anything was damaged and I got a score of 1688 vs my usual score of 1705-1740. Any help would be appreciated to diagnose what happened, if anything is damaged and or what I should do.

might have been a glitch what background program are you running at startup. are all your drivers up to date.

They should be, I'm also running open hardware monitor for temp diagnostics. I have very few programs load at startup which include Kaspersky anti virus, google drive unified, corsair cue... that's about it.

it might be an antivirus they sometimes eat up resource for no reason.

Oh ok, but this was quite odd, never have experienced this before. is there any chance of damage?

i don't think so

Um, launching an antivirus uses processing power, but it won't magically turn off all temperature limits and overheat the card. Something else is wrong

AMD cards sometimes do this, especially if they've been either not in use or in an ultra low power mode.  Came back to my 7770 one day and it had apparently been running at 50,000 degrees.

Oh ok ok, that would make sense. I turned on my pc then left for about an hour ish to make some food. It had nothing running on it, and was just sitting on the desktop screen.
