Leakers Record 90°C+ VRAM Temperatures on Unnamed Radeon RX 9070 XT Custom Cards

It would be interesting to know which models these were. I assume different vendors/models will handle VRAM cooling differently.

If it stays at 90C at stress test there is no problem.

Total flame post. fan speed is at minium and the core clocks are way too low while temps are low and 100% load. Yeah right.

Just slap better thermal pads on it. It was the same thing with 3080 back then. Will probably shave off 10-20c

Actually yeah. Why has no one noticed this before you did? Have we as tech enthusiasts got really that sloppy in our assessments?

i remember my HD 4800 crusing at 115C vrm - and them being like - "it's fine bro, they're good up to 120C then it will throttle"

AFAIK 90-100C under load for VRM is actually pretty normal.

Yes,

But long term for capacitors it is an issue as their life time rating is based on operating temperature.

It's just best when components are just cool.

100c is pretty gross though.

Same memory, different cooling designs. One out of X doesn't mean that the rest of them share same thermals.

Eh isn't GDDR6 rated at something like 110c and usually runs high 80's/90's in most cases, the NDA hasn't even been lifted and all the negative nellies are rubbing their hands with glee and declaring them a failure already

Yeah that was my first take as well reading this. It even says they're rated for 120C.

I mean... what are we talking about here?

Dimitriman · 2025-03-05T10:09:13+0000

Oh noooo! I guess I won't wait for reviews and will buy a 5070 this very moment!

I guess you guys are just used to hot temps? That makes it ok I reckon.

Not a card I would personally buy. But yeah... we've seen shitty AIBs before... Poor contact... or no airflow. I've had my own hands on a Pascal EVGA FTW edition that had to get shipped replacement thermal pads to keep the vram damage free...
