overclocking GPU (maybe) getting insuffiently cooled

[ARandomInternetUser]

GPU: RX 6650 XT

OS: Windows 11 Pro

 

Did no modifications to the GPU itself (hardware and software) so its in pretty stock settings

heres a video where i overclocked the fan mid gameplay on Youtube: Ingame (on top of the screen) graphs from the AMD software while setting the max fan speed to 90% (yes its gameplay but thats there).

And after i set the overclock it just was louder then all of my 2009-2015 HDDs durring peak usage. If the GPU is so limited, should i do it even when its so loud or should i just set something less "that high"?

Hi!
Did you ever took it apart to clean?
There is a good chance that:
A, the thermal paste needs to be replaced or B, one of the thermal pad(s) is higher and making gaps so the cooler doesn't have good contach with the GPU.

I dont think so when its like 5 months old and the cooler is the stock one
