Or if you're like me and have a reference blower 5700XT and don't mind a little work you can strip it down, lap the die contact on the heat sink (mine was horrendously concave), add some liquid metal, some fujipoly ultra extreme 17 W/mk thermal pads, and do the washer mod. That OVERWHELMINGLY dropped the temps on my reference blower card. GPU temp averages 64*C, the max I saw it was 73*C. Junction temps will not go above 80*C max heat soaked load. Memory maxes out at 80*C, Highest VRM temp is 64*C. Compared to the unmodded temps. 90*C average GPU, and 110*C Junction temps, the max thermal throttle limit. Memory was in the low to mid 90's. VRM temps were around the high 70's to mid 80's.
I'd like to see a review on this cooler with the 5700XT. I'm curious to see what the memory and VRM temps are. If they are better than what I have now I'll buy one.
