GPU-Z GPU Temperatures #1 #2 #3

[kapul4]

Greetings,I am curious what are those three temperatures in the GPU-Z,I know #1 is the core,#2 is shader(probably?) and what could be #3.It is not VRM since I see VRM temperature under the voltage(they are very cold,34C max showing in GPU-Z right now) I am asking this since #3 GPU temp goes up to 86C(Gpu #1 and #2 are around 70C in BF4).I see some people write it is VRAM,can you confirm that and should I be worried?(GPU is HD 6950,stock refference cooler,overclocked to 840/1325 with shaders unlock,voltage is lowered to 1.070 from 1.100 and is staying stable for almost two months already)

34C is unlikely to be VRM temperature. 86C DOES sound like VRM temperature

Don't mistake between VRM(voltage regulator module) and VRAM 😀

I'm not. My guess is GPU 1 and 2 and aliases for the core temperature.
#3 is likely VRM temp

The one labeled VRM might be in error or maybe VRAM. If those are load temps, it would be unlikely for the VRM to be 34C unless it is water cooled.

Ok,so am I safe with this temp?

Yes. Usually VRMs are rated for 105C.
It would be quite safe up into the 90s
