GPU and CPU overheating issues
GPU and CPU overheating issues
Hello, your 6900xt merc is working well at 90% load and the 5600x also reaches 85%. No need to fix anything unless you notice any issues. Let me know if you need further details!
Regarding your GPU, performance varies with the resolution you're using; 4K produces more heat than 1080p, and uncapped frames add extra warmth. On my setup, a 60Hz monitor paired with a 6900XT rarely exceeds 75°C at 4K, especially when I enable VSync or cap at 60fps in the game. The processor might also get warm since the GPU is close to it, potentially drawing some heat away from the GPU itself. This situation also hinges on the games' CPU intensity.
The situation seems unclear. It could be that the old, dusty paste was used to extract something from it.
Always purchasing used items means reviewing everything before setting them up, leaving them untouched unless necessary, just my take.
