So I had AMD Settings open and Afterburner. Learned hard way that that is not best idea. Somehow, AMD settings overrode my fan curve in Afterburner and prevented gpu fans from running at all. I didn't realize it until I heard my case fans all kick into high gear at same time.
I always game with HWinfo in background and it showed that gpu had gotten to 96 before case fans picked up the slack. The game I was playing showed signs of thermal throttling which is sort of good cuz that means the self-protect measures work and protected the core. The gpu appears to still work just fine. Are chances good that I did not do permanent damage if ran super hot for only few minutes?
