    I upgraded my GPU from a perfectly slient 2070super that ran all my games. To a 6800xt which is loud as fuck. The only positive is that ive had 0 Wayland issues.

      You should check the thermal pads/paste

      My gpu used to overheat and turn my pc off until I opened it and realized the paste was legit hardened clay

      Gave it a cleaning and replaced all the paste and pads and it works pretty nice now

        Its not overheating the fans barely spin but they make an annoying noise when they do.

          Hmm might just be an unlucky design. Either that or the fan motor is squeaking from lack of lubricant.
