Hi,
I have a PC with 7950 X3D and 7900 XTX (Sapphire Nitro+) with a 4K 144 Hz monitor for about 9 months and out of nowhere for the past month the GPU has high idle temperatures. While idle in desktop the GPU used to have around 29 to 31 degrees and now it's between 50 to 60... Watching youtube raises the temperature to 60 degrees, than the fans start spinning. If I switch the zero RPM mode off it gets to about 35 degrees.
First when I noticed this was when I was away for about 10 days in June and the PC was shutoff. I tried downgrading to older BIOS and GPU drivers with amd clean up utility (because I update when new update comes out) and cleaning dust from the case. But it was to no avail. No overclocking or undervolting was done. My last idea is the degradation of the thermal paste, but I don't want to open the GPU before waranty expires.
Do you have any recomendations?
Your replies will be appreciated
