XFX - AMD Radeon RX 590 Fatboy runs hot! How to cool it down.

The XFX AMD RX 590 is a decent card, but it tends to overheat. This happens because the shell design doesn't allow proper cooling for the chip. Additionally, the fan stops running during light gaming and only activates for more demanding games like AAA titles. If the card fails to display on your monitor, it could be due to an insufficient power supply. To ensure stability, consider upgrading to a 600 or 700-watt power supply. A solution that worked for me was removing the graphics card chip from its shell and installing a separate fan to keep it cool. The new fan runs constantly, regardless of the game's intensity, and has been effective.

⚠️ Warranty Disclaimer Modifying your graphics card—such as repasting thermal compound, removing the backplate, or adjusting voltage settings—may void the manufacturer’s warranty. Proceed only if you're comfortable with the risks, and consider checking XFX’s official warranty policy before making any hardware changes.
