recommend me an AMD GPU thats more efficient ?

ShiWarrior · 23 Feb 2020 at 14:40

my current GPU runs Hotter than any other GPU ive ever had

I have an RX 580

are there any better cards that run cooler, either another RX 580 or better ?

What type of 580 is it? my Red Devil ran really cool.

Red dragon

somebody did help me before with wattman, so ive now gone back into it, and reduced the stage 7 Voltage down even further
running cooler now, hope its stable
tried at 1000, but game crashed (no artifacts)

going to try at 1090

thanks gray

ShiWarrior · 24 Feb 2020 at 15:55

i'll have to do more tweaking, but ive put Tier 7 to 1090v and its stable

bit quieter

whats a program these days to see my temps whilst im gaming ?

i'll have to keep an eye on it and see what it does

Also i think i need to sort out the airflow in my system..

Also if i was going to spend money on a new GPU , might as well spend it on watercool instead first lol

cheers

im now using Voltages same as you Gray

im still hitting 84 C

Seems high mate, you should be dropping under 70C at least.

What are your ambient temps? How is airflow in your case?

i recon its the airflow...

ShiWarrior · 25 Feb 2020 at 18:44

msi afterburner is saying around 50+ out of game

Fan profiles in wattman ?
not sure what im doing really

but tomorrow, im going to clean inside the case and check idle temps
then i'll add a fan to the side and check idle temps again

its a bit cramped in my case, so i think the airflow is rubbish

ShiWarrior · 25 Feb 2020 at 19:39

i bought the card 2nd hand from mm, in october 2018, said he ran it at stock, boxed as new

ShiWarrior · 25 Feb 2020 at 19:57

why is the MSI fan graph different to wattman's fan curve? if they are both different how does the computer know which to use ? lol

ShiWarrior · 25 Feb 2020 at 20:21

ok thanks
ill try it in msi

ive just tried a big Dyson fan on the side of it, made no difference what so ever

ShiWarrior · 25 Feb 2020 at 21:02

ive just noticed, all my Voltage changes in wattman are back to default when i load my profile
not sure whats going on here

ShiWarrior · 26 Feb 2020 at 09:07

thanks guys

jedi, yes that what is happening to me, gone back to older profile, changed it, re saved into another new profile, seems to be working, but ill give msi a go

ShiWarrior · 26 Feb 2020 at 13:02

cleaned my case out, all fans, compressed air through heat sinks

not removed any heat sinks from GPU or CPU
now im getting (idle) :

ShiWarrior · 26 Feb 2020 at 13:11

going to try load now and see what happens

ShiWarrior · 26 Feb 2020 at 13:30

Ran superposition , put it on 4K optimised

hoved around 80 for a while, max was 83
bit better not by much

think its down to air flow, going to get new front case fan, switch it to a 4pin design to put onto motherboard to start with
i might be getting a 5700 XT to replace my GPU with also

ShiWarrior · 26 Feb 2020 at 15:17

ordered some parts

will sort it out for sure !

Can you please show a picture of your case and its cooling configuration??

I ran an overclocked and overvolted RX470,and a overclocked GTX1080 in a mini-ITX system with different cases,and found case ventilation is an important factor. Mate had an RX580 too and it seemed OK,but they made sure the airflow was properly worked out.

So its not only the number of fans,but their airflow,the type(high pressure fans are better if the airflow is impeded),whether its a positive pressure or negative pressure fan setup,etc. Even things such as dried up thermal paste can cause issues.

here you go...
