Explained by AMD that RX 5700 Series temperatures fall within “expected and within specification” temperatures
The AMD RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT graphics cards have a problem: their blower-style cooler. This type of cooler is highly inefficient and noisy. NVIDIA has abandoned it with its newer graphics cards, opting instead for a dual-fan system. Some users have complained that the AMD Navi cards are experiencing temperature issues, reaching up to 110°C.
According to AMD, the RX 5700 Series have "expected and within specification" temperatures for games. This further makes it clear that the reference model's heatsink is very bad. Those who want to own one of AMD's new graphics cards will need to purchase a model with a custom heatsink. The product is somewhat more expensive, but it is worth it.
AMD highlights that the benchmark RX 5700 temperatures are within the parameters
In a new post, they have implemented a new temperature measurement system. Such a system was introduced in the Radeon VII. As it happened in those graphs, it is not the temperature of all the silicon, but of the integrated sensor that has more temperature. The sensors adjust the frequency of the graph to prevent it from being corrupted.
"With the AMD Radeon VII we introduced advanced thermal monitoring to further optimize GPU performance," says Mithun Chandrasekhar in his post. "We built on that for the Radeon RX 5700, and now using an extensive network of thermal sensors distributed throughout the GPU to intelligently monitor and modify performance in response to GPU activity in real time."
He also adds: “With these sensors the 'hotspots' in the GPU can be identified. Rather than using a conservative temperature for the entire chip, the Radeon RX 5700 will continue to increase clock speeds until one of the multiple sensors detects the maximum temperature of 110 ° C. Working in the limit temperature of 110 ° C during typical gaming use is normal and within specification "
