  1. AMD 6xxx users, there are some credible reports that the latest WHQL driver "Adrenalin 22.11.2" is allowing the GPU to damage itself due to either thermal or electrical variance. Revert your driver or enforce power \ thermal limits where possible.

      Sounds like you're safe to me.

      Everyone should probably be under-volting AMD anyway from what I've heard.
      The story goes that they push the voltage up to ensure that bad silicon has a better chance of testing at the rated clocks so they will have more chips to sell. I'm sure it's an industry wide practice but I imagine consumers would rather that bad silicon get sold at lower prices with lower clocks (etc) than pushing all chips to the brink just so they can squeeze out 10% more high-end sales.

      Do you remember the "AMD Killer" event? It's like Nvidia and AMD are trying to give the new Intel ARC very little competition to do that again, but...No, I really doubt it that this time one company or the other is doing an incredibly scummy (yet typical of every corporation) tactic to defile its competitors. This time, it's absurd incompetence from both Nvidia (4090 and 4070 Ti) and AMD (Not even the 7900's new thermals are good)

      There's no need to undervolt, just set a lower power limit. The current is the killer if the physical problem is the overheat and not some capacitor/dielectric explosion (that's how voltage damage works, errors apart due to how undervolting practices makes computation/processing unstable)
