The ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5700 Series were released as some of the most overbuilt and expensive versions of the Radeon RX 5700 Series graphics cards but that didn't stop them from facing harsh criticisms over what was accused of being 'quality control' from reviewers like Hardware Unboxed due to lackluster cooling performance, and rightfully so.  To further compound these issues received from many reviews a quick trip to Reddit could bolster these reports with users also weighing in with similar issues. > But, according to ASUS themselves, it's not quite the quality control issue some thought it to be. Thanks to a post on their ROG website, and kudos to Mark of Overclock3d.net, we learn that the problem occurred due to following AMD's guidelines for mounting pressure on the RX 5700 Series of graphics cards. AMD apparently recommended between 30-40 PSI, but after gathering the complaints and going back to testing ASUS found the optimal pressure to be between 50-70 PSI for their ROG Strix cards.
