VEGA 64 Strix VRM Temps

I have owned my VEGA 64 since October and haven't really used it much, but lately I've been playing games and noticed how loud the fans get when it's at 100% load. I started monitoring temps while playing GTA V online and I noticed the VRM temps (VDDC VR) reach 100°C. I have an 240mm AIO radiator in the front of my case for my CPU, which only seems to reach about 60°C max while playing games, then I have a another 3 120mm fans in my case, two at the top and one at the back. I'm pretty sure the system is well ventilated and the cooler for the GPU is just a bad design that doesn't cool the VRM's sufficiently. Is there any other coolers that would fit the Strix edition which would be able to cool it properly?

 

I'd get an AIO for it if there were any that would fit it, but I don't think any would fit it properly being a non reference card. It would cost me way too much to make a custom loop just for the GPU and I'd honestly be better off selling it and buying another GPU if I had to go down that road.

 

I also noticed reflection MSAA is broken and enabling it turns chrome cars matte black.

What model card do you have? There are lot of Vega 64s on the market.

How old is the Card?
You could contact ASUS and ask them if they would fix the high temperature issue for you.

 

I heard from some people that older revisions of the Strix had shitty thermal pads wich lead to high VRM temps.

This is not a good airflow for the rest of the hardware, as the air coming in is hot

I wanted to try mount the radiator on the top instead but there's not enough room for the fans in this case. The GPU surely still expels much more heat than that radiator though, but I get what you mean. Either way the VRM temps shouldn't be so high.

 

@Crunchy Dragon it's an ASUS Vega 64 Strix OC that I've had for about 7 months also.
