I see. I don’t do consoles, so not an issue I got to worry about. Sounds like ps5 owners got something to worry about outside of warranty.

Temps when new:

 
 
Temps after a year:

 
Those temps were even after a repaste. I was hitting 95c on the hotspot before the repaste. So it's alot better, and within spec now, but is definitely getting hotter as time goes on. Fans could be going out, but the memory temps haven't increased at all, so maybe the fans are ok, but the die is getting worse.
 

Glad you got it sorted out.   If I run out of patience waiting for the 5080 series, I might go for one of the 4080/4090 models that have an AIO. Be interesting to see temp difs and whether they can bask in the glory of evgas Hybrids.  Sigh... can't believe I'll never get an evga hybrid again

Hopefully it's not a widespread issue since that will hurt NVIDIA and really PC gaming if a lot of 4090 have a short lifespan. Then again people who have a 4090 often times upgrade when a new generation comes out.

15 minute stress test averaging 576w...
 

 
PTM7950 is awesome. 
 
Problem solved.

What did you use to stress test it?

Thanks!  I was curious to try whatever you ran just so I can compare my waterblocked card with year old TG on it.  Mostly to see how my hotspot compares to the main temp and to your temps.

No problem. When you run the test make sure you minimize the window that shows the donut. Power will go off the chart then. 😁
