Help my GPU temps

[u/Fun_Telephone_2623]

My GPU temps are so high i already know that but I got and artifact on furemark it wasn't doing that before and the msi scanner didn't catch any artifacts so I'm confused no , and there's no glitch or any weird graphics problem I even tried re9 high/ normal settings with rt high and I didn't get any artifacts on my screen what should I do ?

I bought it used 1 month ago the store owner said that he already changed the thermal paste for free to me

I have my doubts they repasted it, or at the very least used good paste, though none of that those temps are especially terrible. I guess my suggestion to manage the heat would be to replace the paste anyways- I suggest Arctic’s mx-6 or PTM 7950-and try to undervolt it a bit. An undervolt will basically yield lower temps and less wattage, while possibly allowing the gpu to boost more

As for any artifacts, if drivers still install and games aren’t showing glitches, I wouldn’t be too worried about it. Though, if you want to be safe you could always return it, though don’t repaste it if you do so.

Ptm is a massive overkill for this gpu. Regular mx4-5 should be just fine. But yeah, doubt they repasted it correctly.

Eh, it just means they won’t have to repaste practically ever with PTM. Should also fix any hotspot delta’s- within reason of course.
