Took about 1½ months, but now the temps are horrid again. 110c hotspot. Either all XTX cards are trash or it's the Alphacool block. Seeing as they've given up on helping us, this will be the last Alphacool product i buy and I'll stop recommending their products to fellow builders.

If you really want to see how that works out, run Cyberpunk 2077 with RT on psycho, anything else won't really max it out.

Since my post almost 3 weeks ago, the card has consistently stayed at around 90c max, i think the solution is to drown it in thermal paste and barely screw in the screws. Works for me, GL fellas.

I don't have a torque screwdriver, but about the same time i posted my last comment i gave it another go with literally only screwing the 4 center screws in until the springs are compressed. They're very loose. It's been running with a Delta of about 15c now, which is a new Best. I still won't...

I've given up. I just let it run at 110c if it wants, doesn't appear to throttle so who gives a damn. It'll be obsolete in a year or two anyway. Bad card made worse by the eisblock.

I had an Asus Strix 2080ti with an EK block before my 7900 XTX, and it had hotspots in the 90's with the backplate mounted and in the 50's with no backplate. It was a bad design from EK, where two of the screws securing the backplate were the same as the ones securing the pressure on the GPU...

I registered in hope my findings can help out: I was having the same problems as you guys; 100 - 105c GPC temps, with GPU Core being around 50-55c. I tried several re-pastes with Noctua NH-1 to no avail, and then it struck me: Maybe i mounted the backplate pads wrong and that put enough...
