GPU core clock drops when GPU reaches 68C

[Ivan587]

Hello, so basically title explains it, I have Aorus RX 580 4GB, it's not overclocked. When I run GPU stress test with MSI Kombustor and when GPU reaches 67-68C it starts drawing less power (from 180W to 130-150W) and core clock drops from 1380 to 1100-1300. 68C is a normal temp and it shouldn't be doing that. This wasn't happening before, it started happening 3 days ago. I tried reinstalling the driver and installing older drivers, didn't help. What can I do? Cpu: i5 8400
Thanks.

I have a RX580 and usually doesnt throttle till 75-80deg c.  

 

Take the card out ensure its clean, if you have the means you could replace the stock thermal paste i did this on mine and it was much more consistent.  There was mess of paste from stock.

 

Install DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to ensure you have removed all previous drivers etc.  Then install the newest drivers then run a test and see where it throttles also make sure AMD CHILL is OFF in your AMD driver settings

 

Chill is found under "Gaming ---> Global Graphics ----> Chill"

 

Check the chill thing first also you could go into Wattman and adjust your fan speeds etc to provide better cooling to the card.

 

Edit: its probably the chill setting

It's not Chill setting, its disabled, I even tried with fans all on max its still happening. I'll try other things you mentioned tommorow.

Edit: I wanted to replace thermal paste but it will void warranty (it still has 2yr warranty)

Change power and temp limit in afterburner to max.

Under power options in Windows set it performance.

Test again
