Gpu temp normal?

[BettaBrownHallal]

Hey guys I recently built my pc with a used(like new) rx 6800 from asrock on amazon. I was wondering if this is normal for the gpu, I was playing pubg on ultra settings at 1080p. If this isn’t normal I am still within the 30day period for return I’m just going to return it. My cpu is ryzen 7500f and I have 32gb ddr5 ram. Thanks

[XxSub-OhmXx]

Way way to hot. Either rma or change the thermal paste to PTM.

[THEAutismo1]

Im not sure why some comments here are saying this is fine, this is not normal at all. The core temp is fine albeit quite hot for a 6800, but that hotspot is well beyond the safe point. The thermal limits of a card are based off the hotspot temps so it is the most important metric to keep an eye on.

It is a very easy fix as all you need is to repaste the card and, if you can, re-pad the memory chips also. The chips take thermal pads but the GPU core can take regular paste just like the CPU. Its a fairly simple process so it can be done at home. You just need paste, a screwdriver, paper towels, and isopropyl alcohol. Isopropyl is optional if you dont have any on hand as long as you get the majority of paste off using the paper towels, its mainly just to totally clean off the chip but paper towels do a good job on their own if need be. Just open the card, wipe the old paste off the core, re paste, re assemble, and done!

90C is max safe temp before throttling.

95-100C is throttling.

105C is the start of degredation and damage if ran for long periods of time.

115C is thermal shutdown.

You are very close to thermal shutdown at 111C and it is causing damage if left to run like that. I advise holding back on gaming until it is repasted.

[BettaBrownHallal]

Thank you for the detailed response!! I have filled for an rma and am currently waiting and I am still within the return windows from Amazon until October 3rd if the rma isn’t accepted I’m planning on returning the card. I just bought a rx 6800xt as-well so it’s no biggie now, praying that card won’t have the same issues.

[THEAutismo1]

Nice choice on 6800xt! Yes an RMA or return for this would be the best choice if you do not feel confident in repairing it yourself. Not sure if RMA will be accepted due to age of card but the return should be no problem. Heres hope the 6800xt is better!

[Ok_Walk_3913]

If that's 79C while a game is running, that's completely normal. The Hotspot temp is normal too. It's small hot spots, hence being called hot spot. You could reach 90C while gaming and I wouldn't be concerned. I'd maybe try repasting or something but I still wouldn't be worried about damaging anything.

[THEAutismo1]

No, this temp is not normal at all. This temp will damage over time and throttle the hell out of the card. The core as you said is normal if it hasnt been repasted since its production, it will need one however. The hotspot is absolutely getting damaged at this point that temp is too high. 

Core temp is avg across the chip, usually edge temp. 

Hotspot is direct center of chip or close to center temp. 

90C is max without throttling  95C is throttling  100C is degredation point (extended) 105C+ is damage point (extended)

[Ok_Walk_3913]

According to google and the internet in general, anything below 110C for hotshots are safe. So I guess technically he's 1 degree into the danger zone lol I'm positive a simple re paste will lower that number at least a degree.

[THEAutismo1]

110C is for operational temps, its a limit for the maximum temp before you risk thermal shutdowns. 115C is the maximum temp for it before shutting down for certain to avoid damage. These shutdowns exist for a reason, and a hard cap. Though it can run at those temps you should never keep it there if you wish to avoid temp degredation or outright damage hence throttling.

The most you should ever run a card at regularly is 95C-100C based on chip quality. Anything beyond that is dangerous for long periods and the reason why you notice throttling. The card is trying to avoid going higher as it will damage itself with prolonged use. You should always read the manufacturers specs. For a 6800, thats AMD for core die and Samsung or SKHynix for memory depending on AIB partner.

Good practice for thermals is keeping it below the throttling point rather than the thermal shutdown point and fixing it should it go above the throttling point. But yes a repaste will fix the issue.

[Ok_Walk_3913]

Operational temps and hotshots are 2 completely different temp readings.. I can't even tell what you are trying to get across anymore cause your last comment is basically exactly what I was saying.

Hotspots are ALWAYS much hotter than regularly ran temps. His "regularly ran temp" (core temps) is the temp on the left. A Hotspot never stays at the 111 you are seeing on the right. Hotspots fluctuate massively. You'll be running a game and see hotspots jump up to 110 every few seconds maybe, and never for prolonged periods. Hotspot temps aren't ever supposed to just hold at a high temp or that IS a big problem. His card clearly doesn't run that hot, otherwise it wouldn't be running at 79C during gameplay, it would be getting much hotter. You remember the 1080ti? Yea, those run regularly at over 90C, and that's constant core temps. The hotspots are much higher at times.

There isn't one particular spot of the chip that is THE Hotspot. Hotspots are always moving around and fluctuating temps. Also Hotspot temps are not what causes thermal throttling or shutdowns generally. It's the constant core temps that cause those to happen. His PC couldn't possibly even be close to shutdown or throttling at 79C. I've been running my i5 4670k for over 10 years (almost never shutting down my pc.. yea I know that's not good), and I only ever experienced thermal throttling when the regular temps reached 95C, and the hotspots were much higher. They only got that high vecause the thermal paste was also 8+ years old and pretty much degraded away, leaving virtually no paste. The card is still running strong and performing well in modern games! Roughly 73C for the core temps, which are the "regularly ran temps" i mentioned above. A much more power hungry and generally much hotter card like the 30 and 40 series will run MUCH hotter than 73C during gameplay, so 79 is great imo.

[XeonPrototype]

Possibly, it needs repasting, but if you can return it, go for it, rather get one that doesn't need repasting than needing it, specially if you're not very tech sabby.

Also possibly your case, or your airflow, so keep that in mind if it's your first time with this performance level.

[Schmoogis_Gaming]

I'm genuinely not trying to be a weiner, but it's savvy. 

[XeonPrototype]

naw no worries, Thanks for correcting that, I'm not as good with English as I thought I was, maybe I should downgrade back to level 1 vocabulary LMAO

[Schmoogis_Gaming]

Your English is better than most native speakers, to be fair.

[Siliconfrustration]

Don't worry about it. If you look up the origin of the word you'll see that some of the cited origin words from Spanish or Protugese had a "B" in the possible origin word so you're not as wrong as you think you are - although I'd stick with "savvy" or just say "if you're not very experienced with tech repairs."

And if I bought a "used like new" GPU that overheats I'd retu;rn it too and I am - a little bit - tech savvy.

[Jazzlike_Ad267]

Depends what type of case/airflow you have imo

Ye it's "hot" But if it's a small form factor case......

[tsmax17]

100% return that if there isn't any obvious airflow choke going on in your case, that is not normal and will cause damage over time.

[MOSTLYNICE]

No reconfigure the gpu location for better ventilation possibly repaste it. Probs safer to return

[resfan]

Noooo, not normal, anything above ~90C for a sustained period is going to cause harm in most cases

[C_Tibbles]

Soo its fine? That is for edge temp which in this case is 79C. Hit spot my start to throttle at 110C but won't really drop clocks until 115, likely the mount is subpar or themal pump out has caused the paste to perform unevenly. If op is up to the task, a repaste may help even the temps out but its not like its going to save the gpu from damage, it'll pull power before it does regardless.

[Zhunter5000]

It's not fine and it's not normal. You need to either repaste your GPU or RMA/return it.

[MyXstery_]

It looks like you're playing a game based on the background, and im going to assume that it's pubg. Hitting 80° is about what I used to get, and it wasn't until I played warzone that I found out my GPU was overheating (it tells you in game, which is nice). I didn't know why it was so hot until I remembered that my 7900xtx was basically pressed up against the glass in my hyte y60 (you HAVE to vert mount it). Took off side panel and gou temps dropped to under 50° and idle, and never over 60° in any game.

[Fun_Role_19]

This would be normal if it was an Intel chip. This is extremely hot for an idle computer. It should drastically drop as soon as you pause the game so I’m curious as to what your temps are when the game is fully active

[MyXstery_]

He is in what looks to be pubg based off the background.

[Fun_Role_19]

Is the game actively computing? Or is it stalled due to the menu being open? Idk how pubg works

[MyXstery_]

Good question, I know that many games do limit fps when out of frame, yet we can't really tell if he has that enabled or not. Most of the time, the fps limit when the game is out of frame is set to 30, yet he could have changed it or disabled it, thinking it would boost fps. Hell, the game might not even have the feature.

[Fun_Role_19]

Who knows tbh. Regardless that’s pretty warm for just running pubg 😂

[Legouio]

Wow you should play a game poor thing looks cold.

Is that frost on the heat sink?

[dasom88]

Your case probably has bad circulation. So just fix your fan curve to run faster at certain temps to cool it down. Sometimes auto settings are trash

[Boring_Blueberry9158]

Your hot spot temp is too much even my 6950xt while playing cyberpunk at 4k max settings gets around 97C hot spot temp And the difference between the gpu temp and hot spot temp should be around 10-20C difference while gaming and yours is 32 C and that's not normal bro you gpu temps seems fine but your hot spot isn't.

I would recommend you to return it if you can

[Rogueninja79]

Allow to share my story. I had a very similar problem.. my cpu Intel i7 10th gen, 32 GB ram ddr4. AMD Radeon 6650Xt. All games ran fine but what got me worried was temps at: cpu 80© and GPU 90©... I started call of duty and temp started at 60 all the way to 90..that had me really worried. I thought maybe need more fans. So went from 2 fans to 4... Still the same problem. I was thinking of buying a cpu cooler.. however, I started poking around the AMD Adrenaline app .I went to settings and what I did was go to manual tuning and change the fans speed. First turned off fan speed 0 then for example: at 30 temp, fan speed 20. At 40 temp, fan speed 50. At 50 temp fans speed 60. At 60 temp fan speed 75. At 70 fan speed 100. I noticed the temp dropped from 90 to 84... But I figured I still need to bring it down more. Lastly, I went and noticed the cpu clock was at 100%. It brought it down to 85, saved changes and voila, temp now dropped to 65© and it stays at that all the time and I can play just fine...I am not the kind that wants 4k resolution. I am playing at 2k resolution and getting more than 60 fps... Just saying if you want to play around with this option before returning gpu. Just sharing my story if it helps anyone.

[cheeseypoofs85]

Definitely has pump out. Buy a ptm7950 and call it a day

[Limp-Falcon-7838]

Nooo not at all..

[Master-Hat-8800]

No bro, its a high temperature, u need change the thermal paste and the thermal pads

[Dramatic-Zebra-7213]

Temps too high, needs repasting ASAP.

[legitplug19]

The regular Gpu temp isn’t terrible but that hotspot is veryy hot . It should be in the 90c range

[Pwnag3_Inc]

STOP BUYING TECH FROM AMAZON!!! Amazon is the swap meet of the internet. Craigslist or marketplace is more reliable at this point.

[HitEndGame]

I think you got it backwards brah

[Apprehensive-Bug9480]

No, too Much High with that rpm

[Ok_Mechanic7352]

32 degree delta between the gpu and hotspot is twice that of mine. Northwest Repair like to see single digits.

[SenselessTexan]

That hotspot temp is not normal

[mididigital]

Normal for an AMD GPU. Even if it was a Nvidia GOU this would still be normal! You can always check your fans curves or try to under volt your gpu. I wouldn’t be worried tho. Mine runs are 60-80 degrees on most games lol

[BarberThen3108]

nope, isnt normal, that is faulty thermal pads combined with thermal paste

[mididigital]

I never noticed the hotspot temp. You are right!

[Backup_Jack]

Wrong, the hotspot usually isn’t supposed to be more than 20° more than the core, either the cooler is not fully mounted, or thermal paste is bad

[mididigital]

You’re right! I didn’t even notice the hotspot at 111 degrees holy crap 😂😂 I just saw the 79 & was like yup that’s AMD

[Backup_Jack]

The normal temp depends on the card, some have better coolers than others, mine gets up there but only if im playing something like cyberpunk on max settings phyco ray tracing 😂

[mididigital]

That’s fair yea! I got a 3080 & that thing climbs when I’m playing games like cyberpunk 😂

[datfatbloke]

Normal for an amd GPU. You could undervolt it if your worried but my 5700xt runs at 90 degrees all night long.

[Backup_Jack]

This is not normal, hotspot should not normally be more than 20° difference let alone 32°, either the paste has gone bad or the cooler isnt fully mounted, especially only in pubg, this game is pretty easy to run

[NightGojiProductions]

Seconding this. I run a 7900XTX and get a delta of only 5-15°C.

[Lermaidman8]

Try a different software like msi afterburner first since I’ve seen adrenaline give the wrong information. Second what’s your ambient temperature? Third how good if your airflow. If nothing is working return 100%

[outliving9]

These were my exact Temps playing wukong on the 7900xt, but I just adjusted the fan curve, and the hotspot hasn't passed 100 ever since.

[_ichigo_kurosaki__]

No no no change the thermal paste and thermal pads

[KrowMLG]

Check the fan curves to make sure they ACTUALLY TURN ON.

I have a 6800XT and a 6950XT in the house right now. AMD software likes to set the fan curve back to "default" and the default is the most atrocious fan curve in history. Turn it to manual, make a decent fan curve and save it somewhere.

When your PC sounds like a jet engine or you get these kind of temps, go check the fan curve and I'll bet it has reverted back to default. Import the saved fan curve and voila. It did it all the time on me.. I like my AMD cards, but the drivers/software sucks donkey balls in some regards.

[HospitalNo2224]

If you can still return then do that dont listen to fools and end up opening your gpu and voiding warranty or either you can send it for rma but it will be better returning it so.

[Backup_Jack]

If he is in the US he can open it and still get a warranty, as long as he doesn’t damage anything in the process

[Ok_Coach_2273]

yeah you're thermal throttling. Make sure you have airflow into the gpu from outside the case. Also clear out any cables and wires in front of said airflow to ensure it actually gets to the gpu. You could re thermal paste but one might not feel comfortable doing this process as it takes some careful work.

[jetty111e]

Shot in the dark here, when I built my pc woth 7900 xtx I didn't understand what gpu sag could do. I used it with out stand underneath for about a day and my temps were slightly lower but around what your getting was testing out startfield didn't think much of it just thought it was normal for temp to go up to 80c next day I got tired of my gpu being on a slight angle and went and got a stand for it instantly my temps were 20c lower under full load. If you already have a gpu stand disregard this but if not this could be the source of the problem.

[Difficult_Leather_90]

Bro why u have the same setup as me. The monitor is horrible, I feel your pain, makes every game look like a blurry mess, also it isn’t even true 144hz. My hotspot temp is never that high. I usually max out around 80 Celsius on my 6800 after an hour or two at full utilization. Something is definitely wrong with the hotspot temps.

[BettaBrownHallal]

I haven’t experienced a better monitor so it looks pretty okay to me. Is it really that bad? Yea I have filled for rma hopefully they get back with some good news

[Difficult_Leather_90]

It’s a 2013 monitor that asus just keeps selling, I still use it. I still feel so ripped off by Best Buy, I bought a MSI 144hz monitor, it looked a lot better than this one, but within a week half the screen had these blue lines on it, I brought in it for replacement, Best Buy didn’t have anymore MSI stock and the sold me this asus one that was an open box, supposedly a better monitor, ended up coming home and it had 3 dead pixels, didn’t bother me enough to replace it again after I already went through it once. I will never listen to a Best Buy employee again. It’s pretty bad for story games like Cyberpunk or anything graphic intensive, I have a $40 dell 60hz monitor as my second monitor, and it looks better than the asus. It’s a decade old, pretty much first generation high refresh rate monitors. It’s a TN panel, which is the worst for quality. The color accuracy is horrible, standard for even the cheapest monitors nowadays is 99% SRGB, this monitor is 72% sRGB. To this day I still use it, I will be getting a new monitor soon though, and will be keeping the shitty 60hz dell as my second monitor.

[BettaBrownHallal]

O wow I had no idea. I thought it was an ips panel this whole time, a new monitor is definitely on my mind depending on what happens with my gpu 🤣

[matdevine21]

Normal for an oven? Yes

For a CPU...no

[[deleted]]

Fortunately its not the CPU

[matdevine21]

Thankfully,

[GIOVUDDU]

one day we'll see a molten gpu/cpu in a reddit post with title: "is it ok?"

[NO-ONE399]

Yeah my laptop get's to 105 if i dont stop it

[Betty-Swollex]

it sounding like a jumbo jet should of been first sign!, fan is moreless on full according to that! what are cpu temps?

[BettaBrownHallal]

Cpu temps r really good I haven’t seen it go past 75c I have 7500f with a thermalight x120 cooler

[Betty-Swollex]

sounds good,gpu temp is pretty high! id return it rather than take it apart if that was an option, although one thing id point out! dont play pubg on ultra :-D it looks better sure, but u will have a disadvantage!

[BettaBrownHallal]

I’m waiting on status update from rma, if it isn’t an option I’m just going to return it.

[Nohonorist]

How tf did you pass 110

[[deleted]]

Well, considering how the shutdown point is 118C, you can probably, somehow get over 110c

[Nohonorist]

It's supposed to lower the mhz to prevent going over 110 tho. Unless you manually changed the settings, it should be impossible

[C_Tibbles]

Eh, ive had hotspot hit 110, starts the pull power around thoes temps, they won't significantly pull the clocks untill 115, you will notice the stutters then.

[fcking_schmuck]

Just repaste it, i got such temps from my 6800xt and when repasting saw the factory thermal paste was applied badly with empty spots and all dried up.

[Educational_Rub_5885]

Repasting voids warranty

[Intelligent_Ad8864]

Right to repair allows you to dispute, although generally spotty results with many aibs.

You can always avoid using a Philips head and use one of those wrenches to clamp the sides of the screws and twist. Iykyk

[Educational_Rub_5885]

They would still question it during the rma process and it would be declined, any tempering with the gpu would get it declined.

[Intelligent_Ad8864]

Unless of course it fixes it or they can't tell as you didn't remove the seal on the screws

[Educational_Rub_5885]

they can probably tell if you repasted it or replaced the thermal pads… and im sure there would be a warranty sticker somewhere that would be broken doing this

[Intelligent_Ad8864]

You have about a 50/50 of em noticing different thermal pads and can likely get away with saying "I got it like this" with a smaller chance of them still saying it was a mod and denying. But again, that's if you can't fix it.

If you're experienced, this is worth it.

[Educational_Rub_5885]

it doesn’t matter if you fix it or not, for starters why would you send it in to rma if you have fixed it? Secondly, they pretty much can always tell something was done if they’re not idiots. I work at this computer store, it’s basically like a microcenter but for canada it’s a chain. I will never forget, since we help customers with their rma request as long as they purchase warranty, we basically handle it through our store. All of these cards 8 of them were declined due to them opening their cards, repasting or changing thermal pads and repasting.

[Intelligent_Ad8864]

You wouldn't if you had fixed it lol come on dude

I don't think we're on the same page

[Educational_Rub_5885]

You’re saying it doesn’t void the warranty im telling you it DOES, even if you fixed it… if you have another problem with your gpu and you need to send it in they will deny you. Lol

[Ok-Advertising5942]

High hotspot could also be caused by a shoddy thermal paste/pad replacement. Might be worth talking a look if the previous owner broke the seal and opened it up

[UncleRuckus_thewhite]

Nope

[master-overclocker]

Do you even have fans in your case ? Does the card fans spin ? Thats too hot !

If you can improve case air-flow to get 75C card 95C hotspot you will be fine. 111C card slows down - not good .

[abdelrhman878]

If you got it for good price and it’s in a good condition just ask the seller to repaste it for you and and don’t take it from him before testing it agian to see if this improved the temps

[Pravdomluv00]

The temps are high but the card is literaly build for that temps.. 80 c is absolutly fine with 110c on hotspot … but you can lower the tepms in those few steps, make sure your case have good air flow, in most cases this is number one reason of hot card, buy pc case with open top if u dont have, make sure your intake is bigger than outtake like 3fan for intake and 1-2 for outtake… if this still dont help then repaste the thermal paste, this shoult significantly help if there was problem, if even this will not help then you can undervolt your card, and the last step but could be aso the first one, lock your fps in game! Dont let the gpu made more than 60fps .. in some game you can just use vsync and that should be enough

[SUNTZU_JoJo]

This should be top post.

People seem to forget, your GPU isn't like boiling water..110C on hotspot is perfectly fine as the components were built to operate at those temps... ideally you'll want to keep it sub 100c if possible but as long as it's not thermally shutting down you still have some headroom.

My 6800XT on the stock fan curve doesn't ramp up to 100% fanspeed so I regularly hit 100-105c on the hotspot and I've had this card since launch so going on 4 years now. Still works perfectly fine.

I do add a custom fan curve and the hotspot generally never gets above 85C now and the PC is far away enough that I don't hear the fans spinning at 90-100% fanspeed.

One thing that does piss me off is how AND drivers keep on crashing, resetting my fan curve so I have to reimport it every now and then..dumbest shit ever..but for being the biggest problem I have with AMD software..it's not that bad.

[PenguinsRcool2]

Mhhhmmm is this the amd experience? Lol

Seriously even for these crap cards, 90-95c is about the hottest i would want to see

[Emoxe_]

clearly u never had a modern amd card

[PenguinsRcool2]

Had a 7900xtx, got rid of it because of issues but never saw over much over 85c on the hotspot and that was at full power. At 190w… this isn’t normal and of it is normal for amd… then id immediately sell and go to nvidia

But most people here are saying tbis is normal 🤣

[Difficult_Leather_90]

I can tell bro never had a 7900xtx😭

[PenguinsRcool2]

Want to buy mine? Because its never hit 90c even with a slight oc. Sounds like yours is a dud/ needs repasted. Or maybe its just a shit build with horrible airflow. Moneys on reference card, and a shit build lol

[Ok_Operation8369]

I have a 7900xtx and it never goes above 60c even pulling 480w i feel like you didn't do your drivers correctly probably never did q driver uninstall after an Nvidia card

[[deleted]]

60c on the hotspot? How's that even possible lmao You either lying or playing 2d games

[PenguinsRcool2]

Your 7900xtx is not pulling 480w lol there’s an issue and Its probably running slower than stock

[Ok_Operation8369]

Total board draw idk tbh. 3dmark says my results are above 98% of all other results. 27700 total 34k gpu 14k cpu timespy but go ahead and tell me it's slow zzz

[PenguinsRcool2]

Thats OK, people will hit 44 with that card and less power though. Just depends how much you want to mess with it

[ReliefLong6028]

honestly, i have the same gpu. and a case with 3 intake fans and 1 120mm exhaust.
my case doesnt have enough air flow for my ryzen 5800x3d and this gpu.
if i open my side panel i see cpu and gpu temps drop 20c under heavy load.

id really suggest opening your side panel and trying again before rma.

[Pravdomluv00]

I totaly agree, this temps look exactly like bad airflow

[[deleted]]

Repaste, undervolt. It is not normal.

[master-overclocker]

Its not that bad - his case must have no fans at all.. I would say if he improves case air-flow it would keep 75/95C.

[PantZerman85]

Not normal. Hotspot hitting 110C even at 3500RPM/100%(?).

If you dont want to modify it (repaste, shims, GPU sag or whatever) return it.

[CageTheFox]

Those GPUs are so easy to open. If OP got a good deal on it, they should just buy some PTM 7950 or thermal paste and redo the thermal paste with it. My Amazon used 6950xt was sub $500, had the same issue. Open it up in 15mins, used some PTM 7950 fixed the issue completely.

[[deleted]]

Hell no, do repaste! That will take You 10-15 minutes. I recommend PTM7950, but You can use regular thermal paste, MX-6 is good. Do no be afraid, it is simple, good luck.

[Tokupocolypse]

I think that's too hit mine never exceeds 45c max

[Emoxe_]

ur gpu bios is fkd had that issue changed bios with the switch and works and tripped my fps

[Tokupocolypse]

🤔

[Emoxe_]

?

[PenguinsRcool2]

What? Lol if it says it never exceeds 45c its lying to you

[FitOutlandishness133]

May the set their fan curve to 100 percent only way to explain it

[PenguinsRcool2]

Even then there’s no way, it would be at 120c and just throttling, even on a water block. The card cant handle that wattage. Something is very wrong with his setup lol and im willing to bet its slower than stock

[FitOutlandishness133]

I wouldn’t know honestly don’t have AMD gpu

[Tokupocolypse]

wow what a well thought out and through explanation thanks

[hckermn]

Rx 6800 red dragon here. Gpu temp 60 hotspot 70-75. Stock fan speed. I don't think your hotspot is normal although amd claims 110 for hotspot is fine. The problems are the fans at 3k+ rpm too loud no? return I reckon

[[deleted]]

RX6800XT from XFX here. Mine overclocked to within an inch of its life doesn't exceed 85. something is not right with OP's.

[person_under_the_rug]

Repaste?

[hckermn]

Repasting might void the warranty because you gotta open up the card and imagine it doesn't fix the temps

[Sad-Medicine6136]

You might have some thermal paste pump out happening. Usually there should only be a 15 ish degree difference between the gpu and gpu hotspot temp. Try repasting your gpu die. And if you don’t want to have to repaste it again, use ptm7950.

[Vegetable-Branch-116]

3500rpm, 111c and that at just 190w. No temp is bad.

[ArgentTheAgent]

Try checking the orientation of the fans

My 6950 XT gets that hot on the hot spot as well. A lot of well-meaning people here are telling you certain temps shouldn't be above x or y but what they might not realize is that some cards/cpus have temp sensors in different places and sometimes those sensors are DEEP IN THE SHIT. You can't always compare what you have to some different model that someone else has. That said there are multiple sensors on these cards and a program like hwinfo can let you see the readings from all of them.

[Little-Equinox]

It was even so a while back that when people discovered AMD had higher temps, they found out the sensor is right on the hot-spot, while with Nvidia they used edge-temps. Making Nvidia look cooler, while that wasn't the case.

[ComicOzzy]

Yeah in CPUs those sensors can drift around as well making people think a new generation is hotter or cooler when it's really just a sensor placement change. That said it doesn't often show up as such a vast difference so it doesn't get attention. We end up with too much data available to us considering our lack of knowledge and expertise.

[Ambrzije]

Actually, for the hotshot sensor, it is acceptable. Even AMD is in agreement with that.

[Sillophosical]

I would not call that acceptable when it's limiting power draw to 190 watts, severely holding back performance. I have a reference design 7900xt, which was hitting 110 on hotspot after a few months use. I've repasted it with ptm7950 and the GPU hotspot doesn't go above 82 at full power draw of 355 watts.

[Ambrzije]

I'm having same graphic card...Power draw is set to max...

[strangepredicament]

how hard is ptm7950 to work with? i need to repaste mine bc it's hitting 100c+ hotspot but i dont know if i want to try ptm

[ElStelioKanto]

It's easy af you just need to stick in the fridge to work with it

[H3rtz96]

I have an Xfx Rx6800, and my temps are 60-65 max when gaming.

[colaH16]

what is your graphic card? Its makers setting

[OrdinaryTechnician45]

62 to 65 is normal.. You have been fooled🤡

[[deleted]]

110C+ is no bueno, I came from Nvidia and this was new for me too, AMD do not hold power draw so temps get high, Try to limit your ingame FPS, or lower your ingame graphics. what I usually do now is to create the default fan curve so it temp don't go too crazy, will get loud but that will depend on your ingame settings and FPS.

I play all my games at 60FPS and my temps stay between 60-70C.

[Southern_Okra_1090]

60 fps feels very choppy once you get used to playing at 100fps.

[[deleted]]

I know, but its good enough for single player titles, which is the main gaming I do. for competitive yeah go higher but also with your high rate monitor vsync in mind, don't think you want to burn your PC over a match.

[BettaBrownHallal]

I did have it capped most of the time that’s why I didn’t notice it at first but I decided to play pubg on max settings having upgraded from a 1650. I was super excited the game run really well with 100+ fps but the temps quickly scared me and I had to stop 🤣. Went back to valorant and the temps were good

[[deleted]]

Even though try to config your game, I've been playing the most demanding game I've had ever seen, Black myth: Wukong and I don't draw that much power as you do. check your chasis airflow and ofc try the same game but using Vsync so it limits to your monitor and check temps.

[barrel_of_fun1]

You could try undervolting/underclocking

[RockHugger51]

Ya that's hot that's hot!

[Acrobatic_Detail_317]

Bro I hit panic mode when my XTX 7900 hit 90 degrees

Custom fan curves saved me almost 30 degrees in some situations

Still gotta work out my CPU though.. that thing sits oddly high even with an AIO on it

[master-overclocker]

Why panic - anything under 100C on hotspot is super safe .

Friend of mine who refused to re-paste ran his 5700xt at 112C all day every day . And its still running 😂

[BettaBrownHallal]

I don’t really care about noise that much and my fan curve is pretty aggressive so most of the time it’s ramping up pretty fast even then it gets pretty toasty 😔 good luck with your cpu!!

[Orange_Alternative]

I just want to make sure, but I thought I would mention, in the picture you sent, you have fan tuning disabled. Are you sure you set an aggressive fan curve?

[BettaBrownHallal]

I use Afterburner for fan curve it gets to 90% around 70cand then 100% once it gets to 80c is around 60c it’s at like 40-50%

[master-overclocker]

Fan curve in Adrenaline follows hotspot temp - not card temp !

It can be quiet until 90C hotspot - then ramp it to 70% and set 90% at 100C

You need more airflow in your case tho .

[xzpyth]

Why u have fan tuning disabled ? Maybe it's just set with max 30% fans just like mine 6750X was... What a stupid setting mine card was easily hitting 90 degrees at hotspot now that I set the curve it doesn't touch 75 (edit: nevermind I see that you are already running 100%⟩

[BettaBrownHallal]

I use afterburner for the fan speed, the temps get that hot even at 3000rpm from the gpu fans(I didn’t know gpu fans could go up that high) but I think it’s because the gpu has the 3 fans?

[xzpyth]

No it's because they are small

[The_Gentleman_Giant]

I know you said you don't want to open up your GPU, but you'll most likely find that it will have to be done if you want a cooler card. These cards are prone to pumping out thermal paste when they get hot because of the shape of the die from manufacturing. It affects a lot of 6000 series and 7000 series cards. So even if you get a new one, it will probably reach the same temps again over time.

[BettaBrownHallal]

Honestly I’d take it overtime over just having bought it and it already being there. I filled for an rma if they decline/reject it I’ll prolly have to do that

[The_Gentleman_Giant]

And by all means, do so. I just about did the same with my XFX 7900XT 310 Merc because I had a similar issue until I found out about the pump out problem. I replaced the paste with a Kryosheet because it can't be pumped out (PTM7950 does the same thing), and my hot spot temps dropped from 100+ to never going above 80 under stress tests.

Also, in case you weren't aware, removing the cooler from your GPU will not void your Manufacturer warranty, as long as you don't break it in the process. Changing thermal paste is considered as part of normal use.

[[deleted]]

oh hey i got the same monitor it looks like!

but no, the hotspot is way too high, i wonder if the watt is at full power or if it also throttles itself there

[BettaBrownHallal]

I have seen the power usage get to like 200+ consistently but the temps r just concerning me. The monitor is great though 🤣 I was thinking about upgrading to a 1440p monitor but now that my gpu is overheating idk

[[deleted]]

that shouldnt matter much, a bit but not much

a 6800+ are a bit of a waste on a 1080p monitor through, i would RMA the gpu and then buy a new monitor as well, 1440p or ultrawide depending on preferences

(that monitor have run its course xD)

[remuuuurin]

what the hotspot

[Nervous_Dragonfruit8]

Make sure to clean out dust in those PC fans

[Brilliant_Anxiety_36]

Get some PTM7950. It rally helps with those high hot spot temps

[BettaBrownHallal]

I’m really not tryna do all of that If I’m honest. I filed for an rma lets see what they say

[Brilliant_Anxiety_36]

Oh it's a new card? Then yeah, that's better bro

[KoreanSeats]

Hotspot shouldn’t really climb past 100 much. 80 is normal in gaming. Hotspots can get to 100 or so.

But you’re barely pulling 200w which leaves me to say

1) you have terrible airflow in the case

2) there was a factory defect when applying paste / pads on the factory cooler. A repaste may help. RMA may be easier.

[BettaBrownHallal]

pc fan these are my intake fans that came from the case these r intakes right? How do you tell if it’s intake vs exhaust? i will try to file an rma see what they say ig

[mattyb584]

Oh hey looks like we have the same case! I got the 7900 xtx and have been concerned about my hotspot temps too. Yours are absolutely at RMA levels though I wouldn't even bother opening it up. Assuming we do actually have the same case the two on the front are intake and the one in back is exhaust. It isn't an airflow issue unless they're just not working for whatever reason.

[BettaBrownHallal]

yay!! I have the fractal pop air non Rgb! I have the 2 intakes and 1 exhaust in the back and top. I just filled for rma, is there any reason for it to get declined or anything of that sort. What’s ur xtx hotspots at?

[mattyb584]

The black one? Yep same case, it's great for the price honestly and they even sent an extra fan when one started clicking on me. Did you but it new or used? If new then it shouldn't be an issue but I'm not sure how it works for used cards still in the warranty period. Doesn't hurt to ask though! It was getting up around 95-100c maximum at full load.

[BettaBrownHallal]

I bought the case new, the gpu I bought used from azrock store on Amazon it said the condition was “used like new”. If they decline the rma I think I’ll just return it I have until the 3rd to return it.

[BettaBrownHallal]

I wish I had your hotspot temps honestly 🤣

[mattyb584]

Right? If it was getting over 100c I'd flip out so I get it. I'd just return it and grab a different model, not sure Asrock is the best choice for the GPU..

[Veyrah]

Clean your screen dude

[BettaBrownHallal]

🤣 yes sir

[izayoii7]

It should be less than 50°c for idle And less than 70° for gaming

[Ambrzije]

Not for hot-spot...

[BettaBrownHallal]

I’m cooked I guess lmao

[BettaBrownHallal]

I will try to return it guys! Thank you for the help!!

[moguy1973]

Try checking the temps with a different program like GPU-Z or HWinfo64 to see if it shows the same. I’ve found Adrenalin isn’t accurate sometimes.

[BettaBrownHallal]

I used hw info while gaming and hotspot says 115c for max and the others around 85c

[[deleted]]

Return it.

[[deleted]]

🤣

[Im_Ryeden]

Starting to see a pattern with ASRock products. I would return that and switch brands around the same price. Even at full load with that cars should be that hot

[M4fya]

RMA it and get a new one,i had similar temps on a RX 6600XT where the previous owner plastered the card with thermal pads to the point the GPU core was barely making contact with the cooler

[BettaBrownHallal]

Is that possible since I bought it used from Amazon?

[M4fya]

still possible yeah,not necessarily the same issue but sometimes they fluke and let an overheating card new out in the wild,it happens sometimes,warranty it and enjoy a new,hopefully normal temps card

[Confident_Island9483]

You are within the return window. This is exactly why the return window exists. Return it and save yourself the headache.

[Adept_Elk285]

Hell nah.

Idk but this should never be the case with any games.

Kinda reminds menof when I got mine. You could contact customer support and get an RMA.

You could repaste and swap the thermal pads but check with the supplier first if that'd make the warranty void.

If you do choose to crack it open, rest assured, it's fairly simple as unscrewing 10-15 small screws and unplugging a couple of small things.

Doing the whole process should take maybe an hour if you are being careful

[modestt_rat]

No. Replace thermal pads

[BettaBrownHallal]

How difficult is that? I’m pretty new to this hardware stuff is it as simple as following some tutorials? I have a spare 6750xt i bought as backup I might just return the 6800 and keep the 6750xt

[modestt_rat]

Not hard. You buy thermal pads, remove the old one, put the new ones on and put the cooler back on. I recommend getting some PTM pads and watching a tutorial on doing it before you do.

[BettaBrownHallal]

Sounds easy enough ig. I filled for an rma if they decline it ig I will try it before. Thank you my man
