I’m having an issue with memory temps on my Sapphire 5700XT Pulse. I don’t know what’s left to try.
My memory temps are getting up to 92-98c after gaming for a while, this can be after 15-30mins. I can reproduce this easily after running about 3-4 short furmark tests.
My normal GPU temp and almost always even junction temps are lower than my memory temps. For example after 3-4 furmarks, Memory got up to 94c, junction/hot spot to 88c and GPU to 68c.
I’ve tried undervolting, by using adrenalin auto undervolt, have tried it manually as well. Tried DDU a few times as well. I’ve also tried switching to the silent bios, but this doesn’t change much or anything as far as I can see, regarding temperatures.
My card is in a Fractal Design Node 202 ITX case, paired with a Ryzen 5 3600. All other temps are fine, cpu is usually pretty low under 70c. There are two 120x15mm Noctua fans right next to the GPU, a few weeks ago they were intake, as this was recommended online, however I noticed high gpu temps. I turned them to exhaust and temps improved alot, however at the time I didn’t really checkout memory temps. I now turned one fan back to intake, but memory temps seem similar.
I’m wondering why the difference between GPU memory temp and GPU temp is so big. Did I just have bad luck and should I RMA it, or are there ways to fix this?
Any suggestions are welcome.
