PowerColor Confirms Manufacturing Problem with Some Red Devil AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX GPUs Leading to High Temperatures

[Tsing]

Igor's Lab has received a statement from PowerColor that can confirm some of its Red Devil AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics cards may exhibit higher than normal temperatures due to a manufacturing oversight. The issue seems to stem from the way that the thermal compound was applied, which, per an investigation from Igor Wallossek, suggests potential discrepancies of up to a "full 30 Kelvin temperature difference." PowerColor has confirmed that it is looking into the problem with the Red Devil AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, which features an MSRP of $1,099.99.

30C is a big discrepancy.

he is talking Kelvin, not celcius it's a lot less in celsius

I don't think it is any difference talking about a delta.

I tried ot read the **** thing but it's mostly gibberish to me, I see on the graph that the hotspot went from 110°C to 95°C I can't figure out for the life of me why he's even using kelvin or it's a wrong translation.

Kelvin and Celsius have the same interval, just a different reference point for 0
