MSI's RX 5700 XT EVOKE OC die because they have saved on thermal pads
The new MSI RX 5700 XT EVOKE OC graphics cards die because the company has saved on the thermal pads of the VRAMs and VRMs.
A few weeks ago the custom models of the AMD Radeon RX 5700 Series started arriving. These new graphics cards should offer better temperatures, thanks to improved heatsinks. But there is a consignment in which this has not happened. Specifically, the MSI RX 5700 XT EVOKE OC would have major problems in its construction. Apparently this graph fails due to a problem in the thermal design.
Major thermal issues have been detected on the RX 5700 XT EVOKE OC. Some also highlight problems in models that are not factory overclocked. It appears that VRAMs and VRMs are not dissipating correctly, which is negatively affecting the graphics.

It seems that the MSI RX 5700 XT EVOKE OC have serious thermal problems
Understanding the source of the problem leads us to remember the first batch of NVIDIA RTX graphics. We will all remember how the first models petaban with amazing ease. Nobody knew the origin of the problem, until it was identified that it was in the GDDR6 VRAM memories. Specifically, those models used the Micron memories, which have an operating temperature of 95ºC. NVIDIA changed them all to Samsung, which supports up to 105ºC and the problems are over.
MSI seems to have learned nothing from that problem and has not come up with a good memory dissipation system. Some images show thermal pads that are half the size of VRM memories. TechPowerUp and GamerNexus have been the ones who have shown images of the ridiculously small thermal pads.
These thermal pads cover between 40% of the memory surface and 80% of the memory, in the best of cases. Logically the heat dissipation is completely inefficient and hence these graphs malfunction and end up breaking.
The VRMs, which are around 80-84ºC, are not properly cooled either, when the maximum supported temperature is 85ºC. And of course, adding these problems, after a few days of use these charts petan.
It is not the first time that a manufacturer wants to save costs as it ends up paying dearly. But it is very serious the fact that MSI sells EVOKE on its official website as graphics with a great dissipation system. In the end ASUS will be right.
