Mining card issue...

[Toynbee91]

SAPPHIRE RADEON OC RX480 8GB used for mining i got it for a friend to use untill next gem amd and nvidia cards are out....

I flashed the original bios since it was using a custom one and would not be recognized by drivers.

Then i tried it in a game and at fan full speed it was reaching around 78 degrees.

Later on it crashed with black screen and fans max speed...

From what i read it needs thermal paste changed. I will take it in a service to do that

Anyone else has any others ideas what it might be? it works fine but just gets hot when pushed a little

For those with dark mode that couldn't tell if there was a question because it was black on gray.

Sounds like it was starting to get too hot. A good cleaning + new thermal paste will most likely do the trick. Worst case a small underclock.

It's a blower style cooler? Have you clean out the dust? I also think it's overheating. Try undervolting to drop the temperature.

its Sapphire nitro OC. 2 fans.. quite small ones honestly. i have a MSI gaming X RX 580  that has so much bigger fans. i was wondering how is that gonna  perform.
