I recently noticed that my gpu rx 580 4gb starts to thermal throttle at only 70C. I have no idea why this happens and I already tried to keep my card under 70C but its impossible. I have undervolted it and put my fan speed higher to no use, I average ~75C, haven't seen it go higher than 77C. However before I knew what undervolting was I had the card at default settings and it was thermal throttling at over 80C.

Couple of questions:
- Does the fan work normally?
- Does the cooler make proper contact?
- Is the cooler dust free?
- Did you try a repaste?
- Are you using a stock bios?
- Which brand and model card do you have?
- Can you make a picture of your card?
1.The fan does work normally yes
2-4. The temperature is fine. The issue is that it starts to thermal throttle way to soon. Like dialling down the clock speed.
5.Yes
6.Asus dual oc: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1336822-REG/asus_dual_rx580_o8g_radeon_rx_580_8gb.html this but 4gb
7.I don't think that is needed

Can you see the temp of the hot-spot on the GPU because sometimes hotspot could be much higher than the overall GPU temp and it will cause thermal throttle......also can you check your GPU VRM temp this will also cause your GPU to throttle if it's to hot.....
unfortunately I cannot check those

Can you please make a picture of the PCB?
Can you also share the output of GPU-Z (Graphics card tab + Advanced tab -> AMD Bios)

I hate to burst your bubble but the asus dual/mining are bare bones bottom tier cards, they will be limited in tdp.
Yeah but I was not thermal throttling at 70C like a year ago

The thermal paste can be up to 7 years old on that card. It can also cause some issue since thermal performance will become less due dry thermal paste.
I see multiple waranty stickers on screws which doesn't seems the orginal. Normally a manufacturer will only place one (small) sticker.
Did you buy this card second hand?
Yeah but if the thermal paste was indeed old it would've had much worse temps in my mind. From what i've seen other people say this same model they get on avg 80C.
As for buying I bought this card 1 and a half years ago from a local store with extra warranty. Might be an explanation for the stickers

Target temp is suggested by BIOS but can be overruled by drivers.
If you haven't ever flashed your BIOS then remove all graphics drivers with DDU and try a clean install.

When you mention extra warranty, how much longer is it?
