RX 480 running at super high temps

[OLS]

Would you advice me to RMA on this? Running 89 degrees on 3k RPM, this is insane..

GPU : XFX RX 480 8GB (All settings at AUTO) I've tried to underclock and power limit but even with everything on the lowest still runs hot.

Woah, that's toasty. My 480 doesn't even get to 80C while ETH mining

 

See what temps Afterburner reports. You might have a screwy card. Also, check that the fans are actually spinning.

Hmm. How long have you had it? Have you cleaned the heatsink? I think we're talking about the "non-aftermarket cooler" type here, and blower fans can go pretty hard.

 

What's the ambient room temperature? Other system temperatures?

 

edit: My 480 is the MSI Gaming X version... don't think I've seen it over 74 degrees (and that was very much an exception). It isn't the blower style though, so not really comparable.

I've had it for approx 1 month. It's not a blower-type, it's aftermarket. Other temps are good, running around 50 degrees on CPU (load) Ambient is around 23 degrees.

OK, that sounds hot to me then. Have you applied your own overclock to it, or is this "as shipped"?

As shipped, I've even tried undervolting and giving it less power so it generates less heat but still getting high af temps.

Does the fan spin? Also, your card's fans can be removed, so maybe check if they are properly fitted?

I've done that, they are spinning.

then send it back. I don't think the reference cards run that hot a 3k rpm fan speed

[Nicnac]

damn thats supa hawt. maybe a software glitch? does it actually feel that hot? have you tried reinstalling the drivers?

if so the cooler is probably broken or not making correct contact with the pcb. rma is the way to go

Open gpu-z and tell us wat voltage is it running at

[Silent Node]

Well, unless this is only under synthetic "stress test" type loads, I'd think it's too high. And even the best fan would annoy the shit out of me running at that speed.

 

I just double checked that I wasn't imagining things, and under a good 1080p gaming load mine sits mid-sixties temp with a fan speed that's half of yours.

1.1255V spikes, mostly around 1.0655

thats mostly normal :-| i guess there is a problem with the cooler

can you confirm that it's in Celsius ? (might seem obvious but happen to me in the past :-p )

Yeah, it's celcius

Dam it :-|

i will tell you a history so that you relax a bit, so i went to collage and moved countries (from africa to portugal) but i left my precious pc in africa, a few months latter my brother (who was delighted by the events as its gaming hours went up exponentially after i left) calls me all worried saying the pc is reaching 120 degrees in the bios. 

I was furious my baby was super hot and i was too far away to easily help, we went through what could have been, cpu fan not connected, heatsink not fixed well, but after all that it was the same, and then it hit me and i ask: yo what's written after that number is it the º C for Celsius, and he says, noo its an F.

I was happy but mad as he scared me to the bone because he didn't notice it was not Celsius :-|
