GPU hotspot temps are typically 10-20°C higher than the average GPU temp. Here Gamers Nexus tests the reference 6700XT card, with GPU temp in upper 70°s and tJ at mid 90°s. The fact that your hotspot is nearly 60°C over the GPU temp is concerning. It seems MSI may have improv...
Undervolt it. I run my Powercolor Fighter with these values. This is not the fixed value, this is an offset and it's different for every GPU. My GPU...
I have a watercooled 7900XT that I put the block on it myself and I still see up to 20C delta between GPU temp and hotspot. 30C-ish difference on a 6000 series air cooled card is not that insane, you can RMA it but I bet whatever they will give you wont be that much better....
The hotspot temperature marks the highest temp of your GPU. This could be your GPU processor, memory, or other graphics unit components. So, if the Memory temperature is higher than the GPU temperature, the hotspot will mark that temperature as the hotspot temperature. VRAM or memory can withs...
–Hotspot vs. Average Measured Temperature To understand the true maximum, you first need to understand thedifference between the hotspot and the average measured temperature. Your GPU basically has numerous temperature sensors. And what you see as theGPU hotspot temp is the highest measured temperatu...
To check out this theory, you can check the GPU hotspot / junction temperature while generating in the AMD software on windows. If it reaches ~100°c, the GPU will throttle. I have setup and aggressive fan curve in the AMD software to avoid this. I also have reduced the power limit a...
Vendors do not care for outside of their own components. They find players responsible for that. I decided. I will take the GPU to service under warranty...
Crazy. And these large GPU coolers keep their GPUs in the 65°C (edge temp) to 90°C (hotspot) range, much cooler than CPUs. This is not a fair comparison. Using a large cooler either air or water has much faster diminishing returns on a cpu compared to a gpu. Modern consumer ...
delta between GPU and hotspot/junction: The saving grace is that unlike my 6950 XT (which could hit over 100C at the hotspot) the card stays cool even with that delta. I cannot get either the hotspot or junction up to or over 90C no matter how much power I pour into the card. I ...
My Pulse 7800 XT stays in the high 80s with its hotspot temp even with a +15% power limit. I think its not suited to the 7800xt. Its vertically mounted and the GPU is very close to the CPU cooler. I think its created a hotter than usual spot in the middle of the card where ...
