Good day r/buildapc! I have an RX 580 Red Devil Golden Sample pretty happy with it actually but was kinda worried about temps. Running at stock the max I've seen is 80°C while playing Control (really awesome game btw). So what I did was is I've undervolted/underclocked it to 1340MHz @ 1060mV, run Superposition and Heaven benchmarks (max at 72°C) and again play Control and get max temps around 76°C. The weird thing though is that when I manage to UV/UC it at stock speeds (default at Adrenalin is 1425MHz @ 1150mV) and run benchmarks it crashes. Tried it again with higher voltage (1175mV upto 1180mV), still it crashes at Heaven after 15mins or so. It really makes me wonder if I have a badly binned GPU considering it a "Golden Sample" card.

80^o is perfectly fine. Start to get worried at 90.
If it's only crashing in artificial benchmarks then I'd say don't run artificial benchmarks and just enjoy your games.
