Gigabyte 7900XT temps concern

[EdoTensei]

Well, as I bought it few days ago, I noticed that it's a bit noisy I would say. Like on OC Bios (stock), it can rump up fans up to 2000/+- rpm when I playing something demanding at higher resolutions, but keeping them below 60C and below 80C on Hotspot (56C/77C max). Which is actually great, but not in terms of loudness. As it's a bit overwhelming when playing slow pacing game, and there's not much of loud sounds in the game. 

 

On Quiet Bios in other hend, it's actually perfectly splendid in terms of quiet, but it keeps fans at 1300-1400rpm which is Okey, but most of the time coming down to 1000-1089, and temps going up to 67C/89H, but spiking 90-91 every few seconds, then bumping up fans to keep it at 88 and again 89 and spikes to 90-91. But still keeping the same boost clocks as OC bios. 

 

I know 110 is the max, but over 90 doesn't feel good for my mind .. especially when I was hoping that vapor chamber on my Gigabyte Gaming OC, will do the job, but overall it's not thickest Cooler either.. 

 

What the possibility that it will last less with those temps, or it will fail some day ? Or it's just my unreasonable mental discomfort, and I shouldn't worried about those temps so much

The Gaming OC models are typically the starter models from Gigabyte. But It doesn't seem especially high to me, so just find your own sweet spot between noise and temperature. Hotspot around 90°C and the delta doesn't seem bad for air cooling. Even my water cooled 3080 comes up to 60°C (85°C hotspot) under prolonged load.

 

I had a similar fear when upgrading to my 5800X3D, with temps hitting 90°C reliably under heavy load. But since the performance is as expected and it's technically in spec, I don't mind anymore.

The gigabyte gaming ocs are currently amongst the loudest 7900xts since they are the lowest model gigabyte offers. This all seems like expected behavior

I think I found solution. Without loosing warranty by replacing thermal paste , I just set clocks at 2650mhz max, with undervolt -50mV and set Vram at Fast and 2600mhz, so no performance loose, but GPU drawing max 314watts, (298-300avg) which is I guess max for this cooler, because then it's not getting more than 83c on hotspot and 56C, while standing below 1200rpm. So I guess problem solved.
