[SOLVED] Asus ROG RX 5700 XT 100° Hotspot... Is this normal?

[OzN3]

Hello guys,

I've the mentioned graphic card in the title, and after some minute of unigine heaven, i reach 75° on gpu, over 90° on memory and 100° on Hotspot... Is this normal?
I've tried to change the thermal paste ( thermal grizzly kryonaut ), but nothing changed..

Just heard back from Asus tech support regarding a similar question regarding my 1080Ti:

You need to look for the general temperature and not the hotspot temperature.

and

77 degrees under load is normal for the graphic card.

If the manufacturer says it’s normal you should be ok. Just keep good airflow around it.

Undervolt my friend. For the 5700xt is absolutely necessary. 1.2v it's an absurd amount for a gpu.

Also, if you want to rule out the well known fact asus f*d up both cards (tuf and rog) for the 5700xt serie (just go watch hardware unboxed vid about it) by having the heatsink detatching from the dye, simply put your case on the back panel side (horizontal) and see if temps get better, if they do, rma the card. But you most likely just need to undervolt the card. As the temperature on the dye is fine (those temperatures are stock for a 5700xt non undervolted, actually the junction temperature in most cases could reach 110 degrees).

If the op does have a situation where the cooler is separating from the die, but for some reason can’t rma due to warranty for example, maybe have a look at one of these.

I’ve got a similar stand in my case under my older gtx 970 that likes to sag a little, I use it to support the back end of the card so it has to sit straighter.
