Redoing the thermals with new pads and Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut turned my 114C crash happy RX 6700 XT into an 84C stable speed runner. Worth the effort for a used gpu.

Ah FFS, is this why my 7800XT is hitting like 90 degrees trying to run Final Fantasy 14?

114C? Lucky you even booted unless it's just part of the compute cluster

Same here on the same gpu.

Kryonaut is the shit. My Vega 56 has been living under a water block for more than 6 years now and thanks to Kryonaut, the temperatures are exactly the same compared to when I'd just applied it.
