[SOLVED] 5700xt nitro junction temperature

Solution
Junction temp is the hottest sensor at time of reading.
It's also called the 'hot spot' temp in utilities. AMD has said that it's not unexpected to go up to 105C in heavy use, that's according to Steve at GamersNexus. That may be typical of the reference designs, but most of the partner designs should be able to keep the temperature below 95 or even well into the 80's. The lower you can keep it the less the card pulls boost clocks.

My 5700 Red Dragon flashed to XT was running really hot, above 95, so I undervolted to bring it down and it improved FPS considerably.

There's also something called 'edge' temp which is more similar to the reported temp on Polaris cards. Not sure about Vega or R-VII.
