Wow. Given nvidia got ripped into (including by AMD) for a user error that actually affected something like 0.1% of people, I wonder what the fallout for this will be.

50 pages at least, i hope
They should just up their game if they want to sell MBA cards. The FE coolers are well designed and a lot of engineering goes into them.

My mate got his replacement today and it appears to be fine. The Junction temp sits around 80oc constant and the fans are quiet. He sent his card away Tuesday so was a pretty quick turnaround.

As derbauer said these numbers are BS because AMD isn't doing a proper recall - they wait for customer to complain, many won't because they don't know anything is wrong

If they do you'll be the first in line to bitch that an 80 series card is costing 2 grand...

Nothing wrong with the GPUs, but they probably should stop making their own cards/cooling solution and let AIB partners handle it instead...
The vapor chamber was made by a third party, the rdna 2 gpu's were praised for being solid and having a good cooler. So why should they stop making their own cards due to an error by a vendor? Mistakes happen.
Were the RDNA2 coolers good? They were certainly better than old blower coolers. But still worse than AIB cards.
I don't know if anyone did a good fixed dBA and clocks comparison?

Yup, basically the same design as the new cards.
Just revisited some reviews. The RDNA2 coolers did better than I remember.
Seems like the 6800 didn't get a very good cooler. The 6800XT did get a decent one.
MSI Radeon RX 6800 XT Gaming X Trio Review
The MSI Radeon RX 6800 XT Gaming X Trio has the best cooler out of all RX 6800 XT cards we've reviewed so far. With just 67°C, this triple-slot, triple-fan design runs extremely cool, yet stays very quiet at the same time. As expected, idle fan stop is included, too.
MSI Radeon RX 6900 XT Gaming X Trio Review
The Gaming X Trio from MSI is the first RX 6900 XT custom design we review. It comes with a large overclock out of the box, and the cooler is much better than what the AMD RX 6900 XT reference design offers. We also saw substantially improved overclocking potential from MSI's new Radeon flagship.

These two have the FE cooler as a comparison as well.

Sapphire Radeon RX 6800 XT Nitro+ Review
The Sapphire Radeon RX 6800 XT Nitro+ is the company's top dog custom-design variant. Its large triple-slot, triple-fan cooler runs cooler and quieter than the AMD reference. Thanks to a dual BIOS, you may go even quieter by switching to the "quiet" BIOS.
PowerColor Radeon RX 6800 XT Red Devil Review
PowerColor's Radeon RX 6800 XT Red Devil is a limited edition, just 1000 cards will be made. We were impressed by its noise levels and temperatures, which are better than the AMD reference. The card also comes with an increased power limit and a dual-BIOS feature.
Interesting looking at the 7900XTX. The review below has lines for a few different 7900XTX cards.

Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 XTX Nitro+ Review - Maxing out 3x 8-Pin
The Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 XTX Nitro+ comes with the largest factory overclock of all Navi 31 cards that we've tested so far. Sapphire was also very generous with their power limits. During overclocking, with increased limits we were able to max out the 525 W power delivery capability of the 3x...

Thanks for the update, I received my refund today after sending away on Tuesday, although I did want a replacement and included a note stating as such
