The gaming X doesnt seem to be suffering from thermal throttling cause it won’t even get enough power to get there . Also theres a butt load of thermal pads between the board and backplate .
I got the msi afternurner and even with maxing out the core voltage the card refuses to go above 88mhs . Soon as the memory goes over +400 the base clock drops to 940 and so does the hashing .
Right now when mining card is never above 45C
