AMD 6900XT Overheats and shutsdown PC

[DarkNGod]

Hi everyone,

I need your help on figuring out the source of a problem.

 

My computer has the following specs:

Motherboard:- Asus TUF Gaming x570-Plus

CPU:- AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D

GPU:- NITRO+ AMD Radeon™ RX 6900 XT SE

RAM:- 32Gb DDR4 (16x16) Corsair Vengeance PRO 3600Mhz

Memory:- M2 WD Black 1Tb- M2 WD Blue 1Tb- 2x WD SSD 1Tb

Fans:-6x Corsair iCUE SP120 RGB ELITE

CPU Cooler:-Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE

Case:- Lian Li pc-o11-dynamic-razer-edition

Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 850 GT 80 Plus Gold 850W Full Modular
OS: Win 11 64

The issue i'm having is, whenever I play a game, lately it's been Minecraft, my GPU overheats to 115ºC (Hotspot) and shuts down the whole PC.

I tried removing AMD drivers via safemode, and then clean installing them again.
I checked and all cables seem to be connected correctly (im not too savy, so I might have missed something tho)
I've updated the BIOS
I updated windows and all that good stuff.

Still, whenever I run Minecraft with shaders, and we're talking about shaders not too demanding (Make-up Fast Shaders), my GPU Overheats and shuts down.
The GPU fans are spinning.

I have the CPUID HWMonitor log, but im not sure if I can post that here, or if it has sensitive data on it, but here's what it captured when I was playing:

Does anyone have any idea about what's going on? This is something that started happening when I changed houses, meaning, 2 months ago, I didn't have these issues.

Thanks for all the help, and i hope i gave all the needed data for someone to help me find a sollution.

do you have the fans on the card set to 100%.

 

are you using cold air to cool the computer or hot air.

 

did you inspect the card for damage around the heatsink mounting area

I usually just let AMD's software control the fans speed on Default mode. I tried creating a custom mode, but whenever the computer shutsdown due to overheat, that custom mode is lost and I have to manually create it again.

I'd assume room temperature air? It's been +40ºc here lately, but room temperature should be around 35ºc, im not sure tho since I dont have an AC or thermostat at the moment.

 

I did, I dethatched the card and reattached it, I also have a GPU support that came with it.

35C ambient ? Uuurgh you should be baking all day...

Tips I can then give are (all in Adrenalin) :

- Fans at 80%-90% as soon as hotspot reaches 80C

- Undervolting, not sure what the 6900XT can support but -0,05V is usually ok (you can stress test stability in Adrenalin)

- Limit power as much as possible (-10% I think)

- Limit GPU clock to non boost level, around 2GHz, 

- set a max FPS at something reasonable according to your monitor, or limit framerate with VSync, there's usually not much use having >120FPS except in hghly competitive FPS (for skilled persons lol)

Sorry for asking this, but could you help me out?
Also, I should point this out, someone asked me about this, I never feel throttle on games when it overheats. Is this weird? Should it go straight to Shutdown?

These are the options I have available in Adrenalin:
(note: i usually leave this on Default, which should use 100% fans, not sure tho)

Ok, set the settings in Yellow around the values hastily drawn in blue

The trickiest part is undervolt, to be safe let it above 1100mV, you can test 1050, below it's often unstable

Thanks! I'll test it out!

You're trying to cool the card with 35c air?

 

No wonder its overheating. Blowing hot air through a computer will yield a computer that overheats

Technically GPU wimm be 13C higher than with ambient 22C isn't it ?

So any settings making the GPU hotspot below 85C on normal 22C ambient should be ok, that's what I'm trying to help OP to achieve (using what I know from my 7900XTX, a bit different but not that far)

their room temp is 35c , which to me indicates a 100% non climate controlled room which no card is expected to operate properly in. i'm not surprised that a 95f room results in an overheating computer.

Your problem was fixed? 
Im having the same issue

my pc turn of when playing some certain games. All my temps are under 70c. I changed my cpu, mobo, ram and PSU. Last is GPU.

Please start a new thread...even if the issue may or may not be related. I am sorry for the inconvenience.
