Explaining junction temp Because people Dont listen!!! 110 Degrees is not ok!!!

[@Ben-Rogue]

AMD didn't say 110c is "fine", that's just the click-baity headline people use, this is the actual quote for anyone who cares; "Instead of setting a conservative, ‘worst case’ throttling temperature for the entire die, the Radeon RX 5700 series GPUs will continue to opportunistically and aggressively ramp clocks until any one of the many available sensors hits the ‘hotspot’ or ‘Junction’ temperature of 110 degrees Celsius. *Operating at up to 110C Junction Temperature during typical gaming usage is expected and within spec* "

[@Logical]

Yes and that statement is very poor, you know that right? Would I get infinite performance if I chill the card? Nope.

[@desotaku5202]

It doesnt ramp clocks till they hit 110c. Cause if they did and you keep it infinitely cool, it would overclock infinitely. That's where they confused people. Plus 110c might be within spec, but it shouldn't reach that temp during typical gaming anyway

[@Logical]

[@siriusargus6766]

@@noctrk161 don't get people wrong who condemn RTX now. Speaking for me and for many more ppl, we know Raytracing is the future. But its not quite there yet. Nvidia should not have pushed RTX like they did at that time. You can even clearly see in Benchmarks that when doing RTX operations, the Game Performance drops significantly. But you see that it is due to the RT cores being not strong enough (there are not as many as needed). When playing Games with RTX on, the framerate tanks, but the CUDA cores are not even close to maxing out, as they are limited by the slower rt cores. This is the fundamental issue with Nvidia RTX. The 2080ti should have twice the RT cores and every other card should at least have as many RT cores as the 2080ti does now. In a few years Raytracing will be there and it will be great, it will be glorious. But not today, and certainly, as we saw not in 2018 either.

[@douggale5962]

The junction temperature is the temperature of the transistor junction. The case temperature is the temperature outside the die, on the heat spreader. There is some thermal resistance in the heat spreader, so there is some temperature drop across that resistance (analogous to voltage drop across an electrical resistor). Simple as that. Every IC package ever manufactured has a higher junction temperature than case temperature, it is the nature of reality.

[@bluesy92]

It's worth mentioning that the ability to read junction temperature means that higher edge temperatures are ok, because we no longer have to be as conservative. In past hardware, we maintained a lower temperature envelope because, without knowing the hot spot, we had no idea how far we were pushing it. This became particularly important in instances such as older CPU coolers, where the heat pipes didn't make up the entirety of the base, so the chip had large potential to be unevenly cooled. We would stick to CPU temps under 80 not because 80 was bad...but because we didn't know the hotspot and didn't want to risk it. If, say, the chips lifespan became unusably short after 110c, we would want to stay as far away from that as possible, to know we aren't hitting it. Now we have a way of knowing, so we can push those limits more. And the stock temperatures honestly seem a bit conservative anyway. Radeon VII allowed 120c junction while overclocked, which while I can't imagine is good for the chip, wasn't considered terrible enough that AMD wouldn't allow it to run. 10c on the top end of thermals makes a huge difference...chip degredation isn't linear. That less than 10% difference in temperature will make a much greater than 10% difference in chip life. So assuming we can read the junction accurately, 110c seems like a conservative temp for 7nm. I don't think this cooler is good. It is louder and hotter than aftermarket coolers. That being said, I don't think it is unsafe for the chip, and I think the chip running hot, even at edge temps, is less "we're pushing the chip too hot" and more "now we know exactly hot hot it runs, and how far we CAN push it, without being excessively conservative." Revealing the junction didn't make these chips any hotter. But it did make the drivers more aware of what the chip temperature actually is, and assuming we know what the safe temperature for a balance of performance and longevity is...being able to throttle less conservatively is a good thing. The cooler sucks. But it's no worse than any other blower. The chip itself, though, is smarter about it. Even if the reviewers do point out the edge temps...they no longer matter. Because those were never the dangerous temps, those were a range we used to assure we wouldn't hit dangerous temps when we were unaware of how hot the chip truly is. Now we are aware, and the edge temps are essentially a product of the past.

I bought a RX 6700 XT a few weeks ago. It is a good example that you have to have a case and cooling to go along with it. I put the card in my mid-tower case. I started to run games and the GPU was hitting 80c, but junction temps were toward 110c. I am an engineer, an worked on electronic products for 18 years. A lot of components were rated at 104c for highest temp before problems. So I looked at the case. I added one fan. Put all fans directly to the power supply molex plugs. The mainboard fan connectors were to slow for cooling the case. So I have 3 fans air intake, and two fans air exhaust (including power supply). There are grills in the case the intake air can also escape by pressure differential. I set the Graphics card fan profile to on early at 60c to get ahead of GPU, and Junction temps early. The card fans hit a steady 2600 - 2900 rpm and keep the junction temperature down between 80c - 90c. The GPU runs about 65c, and the CPU 70 - 75 c. I happy with this level, and I don't smell heat, like to hot anywhere in the case. At 1440p this card performs well, about 120 - 200 fps depending on the Battlefield games I am playing.

AMD is like a Lotus, or a Tuned RX7, good off the show room floor, but a tuners dream, and all the inner-workings are exposed for you ti see, you get real working gauges that would scare the shit out of a normal person buying a corvette.

[@Noxeus1996]

The power draw on your GPU is going down because it's running at a lower temperature. The electrical resistance of undoped silicon decreases with temperature. As a consequence you have more electrons 'leaking' at higher temperatures; The electrons dissipate through the undoped silicon without doing any useful work. These useless electrons sill have to be provided by the VRMs though, resulting in a higher power draw. If I remember correctly the difference is about 4% per 10 °C.

nope sorry, a normal junction/hotspot temp should be 80-90c at most. These cards will die alot faster because running like 80-90c (temp of gpu not hotspot/junction, that would be more like 110). Basically the paste and thermal pads will run out way faster from the constant heat. Also ram chips should be 60-65c at MAX no more because it will kill them so much faster. Basically if you want the GPU to last more then a year or two gaming on it and not have dead GPU Ram Chips or having to replace the thermal cooling constantly(paste and pads alot), then watch your TEMPERATURE pleeease. If you keep your temps at a reasonable level and not too much then it will last longer. Basically: heat (80c-90c+ all the time) kill computer parts faster and degrades faster About cables: no cable should be getting that hot unless the cable is broken and shorting(touching something it shouldn’t releasing electricity or pushing too much wattage or horrible 3rd party cables that short like stated before) like 4080-90 cables.

The best way to think of a junction temp is like when cooking a chook in the oven. You might have a high surface temp (junction temp) but the temperature of the meat is what matters to cook it (core temp). If you try to cook it too fast, you'll burn the skin without cooking the meat, so you have to lower the overall temp and increase the cook time (thermal throttling). Luckily, with GPUs this happens automatically based on the junction temp. If only ovens could do the same.

[@circumcisio10]

Nowdays when we talk about amd gpu we talk about underclocking and undervolting. 5700 xt i got is set to run at 2100 Mhz with 1.150 V reaching over 80 C in gaming. 50 C in idle. Power consumption over 220 W. Underclocking to 1950 Mhz with 1 V power consumption downed to 160-180W with 41 C idle temp, while in gaming edge temp goes to 70 C and hot spot to 85 C max. Fans are set to 60% max. So huge difference from default settings. I tried FurMark once for a minute and hot spot easily reached 106C while edge temp was 79 C. so the gap was almost 30 C difference. I dont surrges any sintetic benchmark since it gives artificial behavior on chips that you can not meet in casual daily activities. Anyway, 5700 xt is one hell of a chip for around 350 - 400 euros.

[@zzickos]

I've recently set fan speed curve to 25 degrees - 50% with mild increase to like 65 degrees - 75% and so on. It can get kinda noisy but it keeps temperature at around 70 degrees max. I had problems where my pc restarts for some reason and I've figured out that it's probably because of temperature, which was getting to 80 degrees and running like that for hours on default fan settings. Anyways, it's amazing card for 350-400 euros looking at it's performance, a little bit noisy but nothing that headset can't solve.

Nvidia with same core temperatures on RTX cards with 3 fans get 10-15c better temperatures if thats the case the junction temperatures should also be lower on Nvidia side.

[@frshunter]

My Vega 56 uc is much less effective at junction temps reaching 80 C plus (often with all the other temps in the low 60's). That said, I have gotten the junction temps much higher with no ill effects. It just gets better performance with junction temps much lower. My card's sweet spot for performance is around 70-72 C hotspot. As said in this video or was it someone else there is a difference in what the silicon can handle and what is the most effective. Like the Vega 56 being able to reach 90 and not blow up ; Can RX 5700 XT reach 110 safely? Yes but your probably doing something wrong if it does and its hampering performance.

[@oxxExtinctionXXO]

I cant see the same effects on my blower 56. Its more worth to take higher temperature to get more performance. For my card it is better to go for 220W, letting it run up to 85°C core, with an as low as possible fan speed than trying to press down the chip to 60°C, while having only ~160W. The Card will be faster and quieter with the first mentioned settings its around 1440Mhz vs 1380Mhz. That might be because the sweet spot of that blower is ~2000RPM, not to noisy and still moving a good amount of air.

[@frshunter]

@@oxxExtinctionXXO that's great but btw I have a 3 fan version and my card is only "uc" so I can better thermals to run it harder. So I get almost a constant 1672mhz with 940 on the hynix mem while running 58 on most thermals except hotspot which hits between 70 -72 under 100% stress load. Firestrike is really good but games vary from 5% on a few games to the more normal 15% or 20%. But if you get that with an overclock more power then that means all these chips act different or the cooler forces different methods

[@SlyNine]

If it's "boosting" up to that temp, that doesn't mean it's throttling. This is one of MANY factors, that if it hits that its the limit. There are several other limits

[@Moshenokoji]

I have the Anniversary model and I've went to paste (kryonaut) and washers and it generally runs about 80c on the edge temp and about mid 90's on the junction. But, during Metro the junction temp will get right on 110.... and all of this is with an undervolt down to 1102mv and +20% power limit to keep the boost clocks around 1980mhz. My GDDR6 isn't good either. Auto overclock on the RAM picks 895mhz and it's unstable. I can get it to go to 890mhz but it doesn't help much.

[@Chris7uk00]

I would check these 2 things!, 1) Bad airflow threw your case. 2) or you still have a bad mount between your gpu die and the cooler. I would also try and see if you can undervolt some more on the core voltage, I will see what voltage I can run 1980Mhz at and will post back, might be of some help to you!. I can get about 1984Mhz at 2054Mhz/1076mV with a gpu temp of 67c and a junction temp of 82c, but the blower fan on my custom profile is up to 3000rpm which is a bit noisy, what fan speed are you running?.......

[@Moshenokoji]

@@Chris7uk00 Bad case air flow is very probable. I'm currently housing the 5700XT in a Fractal Define R4 which is my old gaming PC. My 3700X died after a few weeks and I'm waiting on the RMA, the new PC is housed in a Fractal Define S2 which I am going to mod the front panel with some stylish looking holes with a plasma cutter I have at work. Think I might go for the same kind of look as the iCue 220T. I feel like the mounting pressure is pretty good. I really torqued down the bracket and used the washers. I got these super thin plastic ones online that are actually .05mm thick so I used two on each screw. I tried using just one on each and it was the same. The max fan speed is set to 48% which comes to 2400 RPM, I can go higher but it'll annoy me some. Core clock is set to 2044mhz (which is what stock was) at the 1102mv which comes out to 1.106 during load. I could probably take it further but the problem I run into is when I undervolt the card the game I play the most, Final Fantasy XIV, will crash randomly with DirectX errors. This doesn't happen if I leave the stock voltage alone. Even if I use Chill and run the FPS down from 60 to 70 it will still crash, sadly. I thought about taking it apart and checking to see how the thermal paste looks but I'm out of Kyronaut but I do have some Artic MX-4. It's not as good but it may be show much difference.

Repaste the gpu die if you're comfortable doing so. Lowering the clocks and or undervolting can help but if you're temperatures are that high with a reasonable fan curve chances are a repaste will help quite a bit.

Let's be honest AMD reference models run hot and the AIB cards are what everyone recommends being cooler and quieter. AMD has made some errors with their marketing statements referencing 110 degrees being acceptable as everyone knows heat kills electronics. They should have just not said anything and really should have put better coolers on their reference designs just like they did with the Radeon VII. Heck even their CPU marketing messed up with the boost clock marketing which causes a small controversy when there shouldnt be one as their CPU's are really great. AMD just needs to be smarter with their statements so they don't cause issues when they have very good products.
