A user attached an extra AMD fan to the heatsink of an MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT graphics card.
Wccftech posted that a Reddit user revived a thermally throttling MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT by bolting an additional AMD fan directly onto the heatsink. The change cut the GPU hotspot temperature from 106°C to 83°C. VRAM temperatures dropped from 104°C to the 85-90°C range. The card had been running hot enough to throttle performance before the modification. The source summary confirms the fan and heatsink upgrades were installed together on the existing cooler assembly. No other hardware changes were mentioned in the post.
