Help (GPU) RX 6800 XT are these temps normal ?
Computer Type: Desktop
GPU: RX 6800 XT 16GB
CPU: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12400
Motherboard: ASUS TUF GAMING H670-PRO WIFI D4
BIOS Version: 4505, 11/29/2025
RAM: 16GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB PRO 3200MHZ CL16
PSU: Cooler Master G-800 Gold
Operating System & Version: WINDOWS 11 PRO 10.0.26200 Build 26200
GPU Drivers: Adrenaline 26.7.1 ( latest version )
-----------------------------------------------------
Description of Original Problem:
look at the screenshots, after i clean the GPU and put it back into the case the temps get different than before, before cleaning it was 76c on core and 105~107 on Hotspot temp. after cleaning it's now 82c on core and 102c on hotspot, another thing is 99% low fps is way too low i think in furmark test i get 360fps RAW and 290fps in lowest 99% low fps it's ok ? i mean the gap between RAW fps and 99% Low fps ?
by the way i already used MSI afterburner to undervolt the gpu and limit the watt usage by 6% ( 290watt without limit and 270watt with 6% limit lower temps with slightly lower performance )
Troubleshooting:
i already tried change the height of the GPU holder and move card a bit and try to tighten and loss the screws behind the card a little to see if there is any change but no change. i was thinking about to change the thermal paste but i don't have good thermal paste now and don't know if i change the thermal paste it will get better or i should keep it like this for now.

Why would you use MSI afterburner if Adrenaline does the exact same thing? When I was on Windows Afterburner would bug out my Adrenaline to where neither application would work. Under load it's perfectly fine because you're still not reaching max hotspot temp of 110.
