No mention of thermals. My RX 6700XT is like a freaking space heater. I hope things have improved on the AMD side in that regard.
Thermals are definitely wonky and often needs tuning. My powercolor had atrocious thermals till I saw that it was oc-ed past the spec and runs 40% of available fan speed and throttle the clocks in a very questionable way to the spec values. It did work. But seeing 95C on hotspot is not really a thing I wanted to see. Now it's more or less fine in the current age of gpus. It's 83c max with spec-ed frequencies and better fan curve.
