Yeah, honestly those temperatures are way too high for regular gaming, especially if the card is crashing at stock settings. The RX 5700XT series is already known for running pretty hot, but consistently touching 100°C+ in games like Apex or Overwatch usually points to either poor airflow, dried thermal paste, or the cooler on the Challenger model struggling under load. If undervolting still isn?�t stabilizing it, then the cooling setup probably isn?�t keeping up properly anymore.

First thing I?�d check is your case airflow because that actually makes a massive difference with hotter AMD cards. If your case has limited intake fans, adding something like a good airflow fan kit can help a lot. I?�d also honestly consider replacing the thermal paste and thermal pads if the card has been used heavily, because factory paste on some 5700XT cards ages pretty badly over time.

For hardware upgrades that could help, a decent GPU support bracket plus better case fans like Arctic P12s or Corsair AirGuide fans usually improve temps noticeably. Some people even swap to larger aftermarket coolers or vertical GPU mounting for airflow improvements.

You might also find really useful tuning guides on communities like ?�GPU Cooling Labs??because a lot of people there discuss RX 5700XT hotspot temps, fan curves, undervolting, and airflow setups specifically for these cards.

Ouch, you may have to explore more DIY solutions then. You should be able to
disconnect the shroud LEDs from the GPU's ARGB headers and extend the cables so
you can connect them directly to the motherboard's ARGB headers and control them
from there. That is assuming that the RGB is important to your build. If not you
can simply disconnect them and leave them disconnected (off).

There may be ways to revive the controller on the GPU but that will require doing
some research into what controller is used, what ROM programmer you will need etc.
IMHO it would be far easier and safer to do as I suggested above. ]]> Fri, 24 Apr 2026 06:28:34 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113371&PID=201263&title=a770-pg-16g-rgb-issues#201263 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113371&PID=201262&title=a770-pg-16g-rgb-issues#201262 Author: knosredna

Unfortunately the only option they give me is to rma and I've physically modified it to fit my old pc case. Basically I shaved the end of the plastic shroud down to make it fit.

Just a bit of a follow up here. This GPU has been in constant use since the time
of the review above. It is still more than up to the task of 1080p gaming, albeit
at reduced settings. I have not needed to do anything to the card other than blow
out dust when I service the system it's in.

All in all, over 6 years without issue. My opinion of the card has not changed since
the time of writing the review. ]]> Fri, 17 Apr 2026 16:04:38 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12554&PID=201212&title=asrock-rx-590-phantom-gaming-u-review#201212 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113405&PID=200961&title=rx9070-xt-challenger-rgb-not-detecting#200961 Author: Xaltar

I am afraid I have no experience with RGB so I can't offer any advice. You can

Same problem on my Taichi. Before, polychrome worked fine, but connecting the GPU to the motherboard did not. So I proceeded to update the firmware, but the procedure continued indefinitely, until I had to stop it. Now even polychrome doesn't see the GPU anymore, and if I try to update the firmware again it fails as it no longer finds the previous firmware, it sees it as 0x000000 or something.]]> Sun, 22 Feb 2026 05:17:40 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=110624&PID=200956&title=argb-link-mode-not-working#200956 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113254&PID=200777&title=new-member-asrock-gpu-thread#200777 Author: Xaltar
