Is the XFX RX 5700 XT THICC III OC or UV better?
Is the XFX RX 5700 XT THICC III OC or UV better?
I've seen a lot of discussions about the Radeon rx5700 xt needing to stay downvoltage because it gets too hot and causes frame rate drops. But some people are trying to overclock their 3rd party cards instead. Can anyone tell me if I should be running under voltage or overclocking my card? Thanks
The Thicc 2 was having heat problems. The Thicc 3 is supposed to solve those: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/xfx-r...iii-ultra/. Also, remember that some people with thermal issues are doing stupid things like this: -buying a glass front panel case where the fans sit right up against the glass. Since the glass is clear, air can't flow well through there. -putting too many LED fans on just because they look cool, without thinking about airflow, or having only one or two fans running. -putting a liquid cooler on your CPU when your 200W+ GPU will easily draw more power than the CPU needs in most cases. Then you complain later that your GPU is getting too hot.
It was the Thicc 2 that had heating problems. Apparently, upgrading to the Thicc 3 fixes those issues: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/xfx-r...iii-ultra/. Also, remember that some people who still have heat problems are doing silly things like: -getting a fancy glass front panel chassis with fans right up against the glass. Since the glass lets light through, airflow has to be way too... -putting on LED coolers for fans with no thought about airflow or having just 1 or 2 fans. -installing a liquid cooler on the CPU when a 200-watt+ GPU will easily pull more power than that in most cases All of that and then complaining about high GPU heat
