AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX – the manufacturer finally reacts to the high temperatures of the card

For some time now, some users of the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX reference graphics cards have been complaining about very high system temperatures under load. There were reports that the unit reached temperatures as high as 110 ° C and lowered the clocks. At first, AMD seemed to downplay the problem, explaining that this is foreseen by the manufacturer and everything remains fine. Today, however, the position of the Reds is slightly more favorable to users of the flagship Radeon.

It’s good to know that AMD has acknowledged the problem and wants to help users. We are curious how the case will develop in the future.

AMD confirms that some Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics cards actually reach too high temperatures. Here is the full statement from the manufacturer: “We are aware that a limited number of users are experiencing unexpected thermal throttling on AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics cards (AMD reference models). Users experiencing unexpected thermal throttling on AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics cards should contact AMD support.”.

Interestingly, one Reddit user claims that AMD offered him a refund for the heating up Radeon RX 7900 XTX, and not a replacement unit (this is probably due to the limited number of such cards). So it’s possible that it ultimately depends on the region. We know that there are far fewer reference variants in China than the rest of the world, so replacing the chip in the Middle Kingdom may not be a common occurrence. Still, it’s good to know that AMD has admitted the problem and wants to help users. We are curious how the case will develop in the future.
