RX 590 overheating

The tim can be an issue after a year, it can dry out and crack very quickly, plus they dont use the best TIM either. so 3 years yes the tim is dried out and cracked.

Yep, mine was probably a year and a half and it started getting too hot.

I just recently bought a used RX 570. At stock settings… this card was running hot (into the 80C’s at times) and fan speed touching the 3,000 RPM range.

After taking it apart, I notice the thermal paste was dry and hard. After a fresh application of whatever thermal paste I had… Temps are now in the 60C’s and the fan speed will only touch the 2,000 RPM range occasionally.

So yeah, so most likely the thermal paste has dried up in your card.

That seems like high fan speed for the temps, it should be targetting 75c AFAIK.
 
I forgot to add something: the card is kind of the opposite of a golden sample, it was always stable only with a very aggressive fan curve.
 
The paste could have come from the factory in a **** condition too. A friend had to repaste their newish (easily under a year old) 3070 because the temperatures were awful, it thermal throttled (slightly), and the fan speed could hit 4000rpm in PUBG. Now it is around 2000rpm.

Very nice! Is it underclocking itself with that power limit? Is it more/less stable now? What's the power draw now vs before?

I don't know honestly, I'll turn on the monitor on afterburner and see. I'm starting to suspect the card had a tad too much factory overclock...
