Changing your AMD Radeon RX7900XTX to a vertical mount might help keep it cooler, but finding a real solution could be difficult.

According to an in-depth analysis by an overclocking expert, the overheating issue that has been plaguing some AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics cards seems to be affected by the orientation of the card within the computer.

While mounting vertically might provide a bit of relief to owners of AMD’s Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Hartung said that throttling still happened regardless of how the card is installed. This led to further experiments to try to identify what the problem is in hopes of solving it quickly, without a need to return the card to AMD.

The theory that remains, if true, is more problematic: that there might be a defect in the vapor chamber used with the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX. Vapor chambers, also known as heat pipes, take advantage of the phase change of water boiling to become vapor before condensing to cool. When working properly, a vapor chamber rapidly transfers heat away from high-performance electronics.
