RX 480 Throttling Problem! Please Help.

taimoorbaig382 · Aug 17, 2018

Hello! I have a Sapphire Nitro+ RX480 8GB. It is throttling! I tried increasing power limit up to 50% and kept the fans on 100% but still the card is throttling! Please Help!

My rig:
Intel Xeon E3-1245 V3 @ 3.40 GHz
1PM87-MP Motherboard
8 GB RAM 1600 MHz
500 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM

Here are some screenshots:

If you want anything else please feel free to ask. Thanks in advance!

1| What are your ambient room temps? On that note, what sort of a case are you working with?
2| Are you on the latest BIOS for your motherboard?
3| Speaking of motherboard, your board officially supports desktop mainstream Haswell processors.
4| What are you taxing the system/GPU with?

I will answer all those questions after a while.... This problem occurred today! Everything was working fine yesterday. I didnt changed any hardware, software or driver! I woke up today, turned my PC on, started playing Gta 5 and there i experienced this issue.

This image was taken a week ago :

See the first graph. No throttling! And by the way temperatures are not exceeding 80 degrees ( i am always running fans at 100%)

Dont touch 2.
Just 1. change voltage control to manual, and voltages in order.
2. change ram voltage to manual and set to 980mV
3. The reference can just fine work under 90*C.
Usually reference cards are a bit more robust than aftermarket ones.

how to change ram voltage?

RememberThe5th · Aug 17, 2018

Same way, change it to manual and set 980, 975 is bare minimum, soo do 980 for now.

Lol, are thermal pads in place and new thermal paste??
You have on youtube dissassebly of your gpu.

taimoorbaig382 :

You should've mentioned that in the OP. You'll need new thermal paste and to make sure the fan/heatsink are making firm contact with the GPU core. If your card started acting like that on its own without you changing anything, then it would be defective.

Its same way that you go to restaurant and buy bottle of sparkling water, you open it and dont drink it, you still have to pay for it.

hahahah........... I have bought a inno3d gtx 1060 6gb X2..... But if the buyer of my rx 480 comes to me and reports throttling, i will dissemble the whole card, and i'll clean up the old thermal paste and apply the new one. Then i'll report here BUT LETS JUST HOPE THAT HE DO NOT COME TO ME!!!! XD
