I know everyone else has written about this but same thing. 110 degree junction temperature when playing a game. I have to downclock my GPU to be at an ok temp. Have it only set to max frequency of 2200 MHz this way I don't cook anything. Debating on water-cooling but also kind of wish I just had a not basura heatsink. When will we be able to get our cards fixed? Bought this card on day 1 and have been downclocking it since a week after. I can't accept fans at 100% all day and a GPU that can fry an egg.

Users experiencing unexpected thermal throttling on their AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (reference models made by AMD) should contact AMD Support via telephone or via our e-ticket system for further support.
So pretty much a hurry up and wait situation on an incomplete card
Basically what I would do is get a refund, ship the card back, and buy an AIB model. If you are committed to sticking with the reference card and you want to keep it, then I would install whatever GPU I had before, and wait for the restock so they can replace it. The whole situation is unfortunate.
Do you think Microcenter would refund it?
If its within the return time probably.
I don't think so
Why wouldn't you think so?
Thing that also sucks is I bought an NZXT H1 V2 with this GPU in mind and I feel like I got shafted.
Oh to explain the water-cooling thing with the NZXT H1 was gonna get a custom back panel and make holes to allow hoses to go to the 240 radiator in the back and do a CPU water block pump combo. It would still keep the low profile minus a rad sticking out the back with fans lol.
