German video blogger Der8auer spent A large-scale study to identify the causes of overheating of AMD Radeon RX 7900 graphics cards.
An enthusiast bought four video cards to see the overheating difference between horizontal and vertical adapters.
Thus, in the normal horizontal position, video cards heat up noticeably faster and stronger. To do this, he flipped the AMD Radeon RX 7900 from portrait to landscape right in the middle of the test and found an increase in temperature. At the same time, returning the card to its original position did not cause it to cool.
Der8auer suggests that the design of the evaporation chamber is to blame, as the coolant circulates poorly through it.
At the end of December 2022, enthusiast Igor Vallossek conducted his own test, in which he identified several possible causes of overheating of new AMD graphics cards. One of the main problems was with the evaporation chamber.
