5700XT Red Devil specifications and operating modes
Hi, I see the issue with your 5700XT Red Devil 3 fan. While gaming, your screen goes black and the game closes unexpectedly. You mentioned using a 5-meter HDMI cable, which is causing high GPU usage even when the TV isn’t on. The temperatures are also unusually high—sometimes 56°C, other times 67°C at 40% load. Your fan curve seems adjusted, but it’s still getting hot during desktop use. You’re wondering if the problem lies with the cable or the GPU itself. When you disconnect the cable, usage drops to zero, suggesting the GPU is the main culprit. You might want to check the GPU’s cooling solution or consider replacing the cable. If you try a different cable, it could help identify whether the issue is with the connection.
There’s clearly something happening. A single cable shouldn’t affect GPU activity. It might be struggling to negotiate HDCP protocol or there could be an internet connection plus HDMI setup causing automatic downloads. Test with a shorter cable to check if it helps. For temperatures, they seem acceptable for the usage level.

The device should be more portable, right? You mentioned using Internet via HDMI, not Wi-Fi. It’s a protocol that lets the TV connect to the internet using just one cable (HDMI). I think a smaller TV would have been less reliant on internet connections. Have you checked your setup with a standard monitor instead of your TV?
Can’t you adjust the distance between the PC and the TV to see if a shorter cable helps? Also, consider using a new cable or checking the latest BIOS updates.
I adjusted the PC position, but the GPU behavior remains unchanged—it acts like a regular monitor with no idle usage detected.
I possess an option with minimal usage at 0%, though the extended cable still shows 40%. Would you like some alternative cables to consider? I’m located in the UK and need a 5-metre length. There are many options on Amazon, but I want to avoid another subpar choice since I bought one for £10 long ago. Bios: ver 3607
I'm struggling with this. A cable shouldn't cause your GPU to overheat. I can't suggest a cable since I'm not in the UK, and I only buy cheap HDMI cables from dollar stores. Good luck!
