VRAM Thermal Limit on 9070 XT

[TwoBeers]

Hi,

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT seems to have higher VRAM temperatures than other Cards / Chips had before.
There's also a report by a spanish website that AMD may have raised the TJmax for the VRAM from 105°C to 108°C.
(Google Translate: https://elchapuzasinformatico-com.t...uto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp)

This website also has a screenshot of HWInfo showing that higher "Memory Thermal Limit". That's the only "official" info we have so far. I haven't found a statement from AMD confirming the higher limit.

But I can confirm that my 9070 XT is showing right now 56°C "Memory Temperature" and a "Limit" of 52%. Which would mean 100% is indeed 108°C.



My questions is, how does HWInfo obtain this information? Especially the "Memory Thermal Limit"? Is it send by the card telemetries? How does that message look like?
Or is it saved in some form of database? Then how did those 108°C got in there?

Thanks for your help, cheers,
TwoBeers

This is read directly from the GPU, not database. And the limit is indeed set to 108 C.
I don't see the problem for you: 100*56 / 52 = 107.7

Hi Martin, Thank you for the fast answer.

Not a Problem at all. Just some people are worried because the 9070 XT reports quite high VRAM temps of 90 to 95°C during intensive load.
And that's more than other cards reported before.
Good to know that the card itself reports a higher limit and even 95 or 100°C shouldn't be an issue.

Now it would be great to find some official statement from a manufacturer or AMD themselves to confirm this limit.
