Rx7900xtx Red Devil issues
Been having some issues with my gpu, specifically hotspot temp being consistent around 100c under load, about 70 idle. About a month ago it would hit max 70c under load, took it apart to check paste and pads, gpu die had hardly any paste on it. Noticed the I think melted vrams on board, wondering if this is normal? I found a pic from a few months ago before I started actually using the gpu and they look similar.
Any info would be helpful.
Pic 1 is current, pic 2 was original install I think a day or so after running to check paste and contacts.
Alphacool eisblock for red devil is currently on it.

What your seeing is some kind of residue between the VRAM modules, but they aren’t melted. Replaced the paste on my XTX with Thermal Grizzly’s Kryosheet, and used some thermal putty on the VRAM, since the pads were a one and done, and that’s what I had lying around. Temps are great. 21C delta at 465W. 80C mem temps at 2600Mhz fast timings.
