Still an RX560:

amdgpu-pci-2b00
Adapter: PCI adapter
vddgfx:      887.00 mV 
fan1:        1610 RPM  (min =    0 RPM, max = 3600 RPM)
edge:         +42.0°C  (crit = +94.0°C, hyst = -273.1°C)
power1:       22.09 W  (cap =  48.00 W)

It's plausible that there's something in power management that
can and should be turned on, and isn't.
