Reply to comment by Blastoxic999 in AMD says a “limited number” of 7900 XTX GPUs have a thermal throttling problem | Owners of cards with throttling problems are encouraged to contact AMD support. by chrisdh79

GPU junction temperatures are meant to be between 70-90°C on these air coolers. Thermal throttling should never occur unless something is seriously wrong. The card is designed to maintain peak performance at all times, while staying within the power and thermal limits. When a card thermal throttles it is exceeding its thermal limits, and must reduce its performance to maintain stability. Shutoff temperature is at 115°C, your card will actually just turn off to prevent damage when it reaches that temperature.

Great series of responses.

That was very well said, and very helpful information for someone that doesn't know about GPUs like the person you replied to. Nice job - was a pleasure to see.

I usually just drip water on some of the metal components and am careful to avoid the PCB.
