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

[@skitzdaniel3314]

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.

[@skitzdaniel3314]

@@dane4890 I have since done some more experiments. I capped my framerate FPS in Adrenaline at 100 FPS and that really cooled down the card. I see no difference at running 100 FPS vs 150 - 200 FPS on my 1440p monitor. I run monitor at 1080p which still comes out sharper on s 1440p monitor. Don't need 4K. I have my 3 fans now on my AsRock Phantom Gaming 4 motherboard and set fan speed profiles in BIOS according to processor heat. Still cap 100 FPS and CPU runs in 60 c range, graphics processor 50 - 65c and junction temps 60 - 70 c. I run a gaming fan profile also in AMD Adrenalin.

@@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.

[@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

[@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 think AMD was right to show us the Junction temp, but i also think the situation is like the situation we have with modern cars. Nvidia is like a off the showroom floor Corvette, its fast and you can put some bolt on upgrades on it but the inner-workings are mostly hidden, like the temp gauge, its not really a gauge its an idiot light that looks like a gauge, it only really had 3 positions, Cold, Normal, Overheated, the small fluctuations within the normal range are hidden. 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. Most people choose the corvette... and AMD is like the tweekers dream. Most people arn't smart-enough or don't care enough for the advantages of having an AMD card to matter.

[@omnivos]

Everything I've seen lately puts AMD chip temperature in line with Nvidia's. The duel, and triple fan models lower the temperature 10+ degrees. The Red Devil is supposed to be very quiet.

[@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.

[@dawnrazornephilim]

More information is a good thing, disinformation is a bad thing.

[@TheTopMostDog]

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.

[@drogenfeld]

you have it backwards. The junction temp is the meat in this case cause it's inside the chip. And that is hotter than the die itself

[@kessilrun6754]

Agree with the junction temps and the death of overclocking. But not so much on the memory argument. Infinity cache must be doing something right because if I OC the memory I see absolutely no gains, maybe a few points here or there, but that can just as easily be a result of having a colder run (longer time between tests). Overall the 6950 XT is a weird card. I dropped on a standard Sapphire Nitro+, even though I had a Sapphire Nitro+ 6900 XT. Mostly because I knew the 6950 were essentially higher bin GPUs and could potentially go further on OC. Which mine can, ever so slightly. But overall my 6900 XT Sapphire Nitro+ can do a rock solid stable 2685MHZ at 1080mv (will even do at 1060mv, but I keep it higher to insure stability), and a slightly less stable 2710MHZ at the same voltage. My 6950 XT will not go below 1120mv at any speed lol. Not even the default clock. I’d probably have to drop to 2300MHZ or 2400MHZ. But the OC headroom, should I leave voltages default? Get to about 2800MHZ. So the card was definitely designed to be on water because even if I leave the card on Rage Mode? The junction hits 115c in benchmarks because the stupid Rage Mode profile feels it doesn’t need fans (must go by the overall GPU core temp). If I just roll with the standard onboard OC BIOS it sits around 95-105c junction. But if I setup my own profile and max the fans out and leave all the clocks standard OC BIOS speeds and voltages? It see between 91- 101c. 1.2v is just too much on air. And while I can drop to 1150mv it’s just still too damn hot. I just don’t trust factory clocks because everyone is so concerned about silence that AMD and AIB partners are forced to error towards heat output.

[@Eric-Robson-]

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.

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.

[@ghostjwm1]

Nicolas11x12 English originally reported the wrong temps using the Junction temp in his RX 5700 XT review and took that video down and made 2 videos apologizing and explaining his mistake. Gamers Nexus and Hardware Unboxed, LTT and Jaystwocents all explain the GPU temps correctly. 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.

[@LastRightsTV]

I heard the 5700xt runs at 110c + :) lol Love you paul

[@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.

[@narsayeee1578]

Should I be paranoid hitting mid 80s with junction temp of 110 ? . I get scared to even see if the thing is going to hit core of 90 so I’ll just close the application for a bit

[@domanater480]

Hey I just bought a used 6700xt and temps seem odd to me but maybe you can clear it up. Gpu temp is 63c and hotspot temp is 110c in game. Is this normal or not? I see so much conflicting information. The fans seem to run at 100% at all times while gaming to. I did remove my case glass panel and the temp did drop 10-15c so is my case just suffering bad air flow?

I have an rx5700xt and it gets to 100c i know its not bad so im going to msi afterburner and turning these fans all the way up. Im going to update if it gets cooled or not

[@Jeremy-vh6iq]

whoever liked my comment reminded me to do an update. Thanks. Here's your update. So I ran into 3 problems that made my GPU and pc parts overall hotter than they should have been. So first, my pc case is the NZXT h510 so it was going to be somewhat warm no matter what. I was thinking about buying a new case but I knew there was a way around it. Luckily there was. Anyway back to the update, I had only 2 fans and they were both exhausts. Which was bad. I changed one to be in the front blowing air on my GPU. my second problem was that the fans weren't running at their full potential. I turned them all the way up to blow on max. I forgot what the rpm was [sorry]. My last problem was that my GPU fans were spinning pretty slow. Around 20-40%. Overall, making these 3 changes brung my temps from 100 degrees Celcius. to around 50 degrees Celcius. I hope this helped. Have a great day :)

How's your card holding up

[@Ajeruu]

My card still kicking since 2020. Never repasted. Fan curve makes a lot of difference. AMD just wants us to tinker on its products.

[@cracklingice]

The junction temp being really high with a low die temp would simply be because the workload cannot utilize all of the compute units equally so one section is working really hard while the others are barely working or not at all.

[@reapergaming5916]

and how can solve this issue to compute units equally?

[@cracklingice]

so, if my rx 5700 xt (8gb) have 82~ C is okay?

[@Ajeruu]

Yes its ok. After a lot of research, i can testify it is. My hotspot whenever i use a specific skill on my game, since it has a beautiful cutscene, it spikes from 81c to 110c hotspot just for a second. But the edge temp stays at 70c all the way.

[@SlyNine]

There's a big difference between boosting UP to that vs throttling. Calling it throttling because it won't boost beyond pushing that is a misnomer. It's misleading.

[@cracklingice]

Hotter silicon draws more power due to leakage.

[@DJ_Dopamine]

So, while playing Flight Sim I get junction temperature to 85 max, is that ok?

[@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

Not an apple fan : T-junction is the hottest spot from around 25 hot spots inside the GPU die and is there to monitor the silicium melting treshhold of 160 ° C and in higher quality tranzistors, like some AMD cards have, at around 190 ° C. It for the LN2 extreme overclockers to monitor their GPU-s before the melt the GPU core from within. 110 ° C IS COMPLETELY OK AND COOL ENOUGH !!!!

@@MrGlitchDogePE wrong buttercup, you are repeating illiterate ideas from other selfproclaimed youtubers. You are misinformed and illiterate yourself.

[@ragingmonk6080]

Pretty sure AMD said they allowed the junction temp to get higher then in the past because they were leaving "performance on the table" if they didn't. This is fine because a lot of overclock the cards and were taking that extra performance off the table ourselves. So the junction temp was always higher for us. BUT, I still have an issue. In the past we got a generational performance gain (say 15%) with the release of a new card. Then we would take said card and overclock it to get even more performance (say 5%). Now overclocking is dead and the extra performance is gone as well. We get the same generational leap (15% above) but the overclock was used to get there. I am no fan of Nvidia but in fairness I have to ask. If Nvidia gave us a generational leap with no OC headroom would you bitch about it? Not discussing high prices. Say it cost the same as last gen in that performance bracket.
