MORE bad news for AMD GPUs… Huge Recall Incoming??
AMD Reference 7900XTX Coolers are failing at a scary rate! Der8auer did a complete video about his testing here. Disclaimer, our 7900XTX along with many other reviewers does NOT exhibit this behavior, however there are MANY confirmed cases in the wild. Check out his video here – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26Lxydc-3K8

Thanks a lot for shout-out 🙂
When you talked about that we didn’t think about this before at 6:35 I started thinking about if we even missed this on other cards in the past. Good point! Could probably change reviews for the future.
@Nobby Nobbs 🤣
what if there was more cards in previous generations that also had this problem?
@Donkey Kong 252 good choice.
hey @der8auer EN, I love your uncut weapon of gizz spreadaction!
@Donkey Kong 252 vote by reviews and performance done the same since fury x series cards haha
It’s funny how prices go up and up but quality (assurance) seems to go down.
@Eddie Brock I’m not raging. I’m laughing at you. Don’t flatter yourself 🤣Why would anyone rage over someone else being as completely stupid as the proverbial. You’re the one at a disadvantage in life with the mental capacity of a raisin. 🤣
@The Toaster lol. Reeee! Rage more nerd. 🤣🤡
@StormRider Not really. Microsoft fired most of it’s QA staff after Steven Balmer left, and we, the users, that paid for their OS became the QA department for Win 8 all the way to every update for Win 10 and Win 11. 🤣
Welcome to retail.
@Eddie Brock what assumptions? That you’re an idiot? You’re quite right!
I bought my rx 6950xt about a month ago and it just keeps getting better and better.
Same bro! Got one on black Friday for $800. Super happy I did lol
I think this gpu generation launch goes to show the risk of adopting new tech as soon as it launches. Hope it can be fixed soon.
@DrRodion exactly.. guaranteed 98% of problems are user error
@Reinhard R only in fascist corporate dictatorships where jiby jabs mandated.
@jonathan GM proved almost all issues with 4090s were caused by idiots not fully plugging in a power cable.
@adoksym no shit
@Brenda Filkel you got me 😉
To be fair, Jay, AMD did release a note last week I guess, saying that anyone having this issue should be in contact with them. So they’re not completely quiet about the problem.
And I want to see you or others test, in all orientations, a card that never shown 110 degrees hot spot before, to disprove if it’s a problem with all reference cards or just a bad production batch.
Happy new year guys!!
The cards are fine. Change the cables n it will destroy nvidia. Even if u get high temps so wat. Keeps u warm in winter. In summer get a mini fridge case n u r good
Likely a manufacturing issue. Der8auer seems to think the afflicted chambers do not have enough water in them. They absolutely have to get that right.
@Da_Boom Vapor chambers and heat pipes production are highly automatized processes. Sure, one could do a manual sample test – but that’s it. There is no human operating the machines – it’s automated. Also, the thing is sealed shut – one would have to destroy the component to measure the pressure inside.
I believe that this is a batch gone wrong. Maybe one setting on the factory, maybe one machine that put the incorrect amount of water inside. Since we have several cards with the same design working ok… it must be a manufacturing problem, not a project one.
@Wapn Perfo The fact that some cards do it and some dont, is the indication that something is not right – they should be testing the chambers to make sure they’re performing correctly. and when they lower the pressure, they should have a qc man check the pressure before sealing it to make sure its within range – same with adding liquid. This delta in performance of the chamber from card to card is clearly too large.
The bad thing is if that is true it could very well affect cards down the road that are working OK right now because of permeation ….. That is why there should be a total recall and all coolers on existing cards replaced with a new design …… That’s really going to hurt AMD who has already seen Market Share drop from 21% in 2021 to 10% in 2022 ….. That’s why Nvidia is so cocky about their pricing, they have no real competition and their market share increased
Like it or not AMD really dropped the ball not necessarily because their products are bad but because they keep overpromising and underdelivering
@ShadowLordxsx If it would be a design flaw, then all of the cards would be affected, what seems to be *not* the case.
@ShadowLordxsx they apply a vacuum when sealing the vapor chamber to lower the boiling point.
It would be extremely interesting to take 1 good card and 1 bad card and switch the coolers to see if the problem travels.
ASUS had such a problem before, i think they did explore a different cooler with the same PCB design, so technically they can just replace the cooler. Would be cool to see, its faster for people too and cheaper for AMD.
It has been done by the german reviewer… The answer is YES – it is the cooler problem.
I believe this has been done and it is the cooler at fault.
I had a card like this, sent it back to AMD for a refund. I think I actually was one of the first on the AMD support forums to start complaining about this.
@Darkauscus It was 😂
@Albert Wesker might be the dumbest thing I have ever heard…unless it was sarcasm that is
Dont have to send back… Buy waterblock and there will be no problem
The smartest thing to do in terms of electronic purchases is to wait at least half a year before buying new releases. If you really need a specific component, buy last gen ones.
That’s an uncharacteristically un-Blockheaded thing to say; kudos and I heartily agree 👍
It’s honestly another reason people should cool it on vehemently hating people willing to pay crazy prices for this stuff. Enthusiasts not only knowingly go deep into diminishing returns on price/performance but they also fall on the sword of ironing out early kinks. I’m not in that cohort and I don’t want to be.
It is similar to buying the first year of a new model car.
That seems to be either a design flaw or a factory level problem – unlike the layer 8 problem, that the green giant had.
Issues like this are one of the main reaons why I genereally get components, that have been “out in the wild” for roughly one year.
If it was a design problem then all cards would have it, likely the manufacturer made process changes meaning many coolers ended up faulty. Not the first time there have been problems with vapour chambers like this, they are difficult to manufacture and hence expensive. Probably some corners got cut by the manufacturer to try and reduce costs and it is blowing up in their faces now.
