I just had 100% utilization with my rx5700xt red devil and the graphics card went briefly to 106 degrees at the junction temperature, the normal temperature was 80 degrees or 75. Do you think something broke? I briefly set everything to epic at Fortnite and set the fps to uncapped to see how much I get. But then I ask myself why it gets so hot, I mean a graphics card is there to use it completely, I don't feel like exchanging the thing again and building a new one because then I can screw everything away on the back of the housing again

If it was only for a short time nothing breaks. The card should also throttle and clock down there itself.

It shouldn't be permanent. That is harmful.

I don't know the card. Possibly undersized cooler. Dirty or badly ventilated case that it gets so hot.

Graphics cards or processors actually have a maximum temperature of 95 °, so something went really wrong. Maybe you should adjust your fan curves.

Ma

Yes, it then throttled and the load was at 10%

rh

No, it's not about the graphics processor, some components get much hotter

fa

I have an AMD card (from Sapphire) myself and I have no idea what you're saying about the 30%.

Ho

Not all. My old HD 7870, for example, went up to 100 ° C.

According to the manufacturer, other CPUs should not be operated continuously above 70 degrees.

rh

Nothing is broken! Do you have enough ventilation in the housing?

you can also undervolten the card via msi afterburner or in the amd driver (WATTMAN) to prevent this in the future

Sa

The maximum temperatures always depend on the CPU or GPU. There are also CPUs that are allowed to go up to a maximum of 85 or 100 degrees. Short spikes with higher temperatures are often okay too.

fl

That the junction temperature goes so high is normal, that is the hottest point on the chip. As with Nvidia graphics cards, the "normal" temperature is measured at the edge of the chip and is therefore significantly lower.

80 ° C chip and 105 ° junction is toastie but doesn't break anything.

AMD's official specification is a maximum junction temp of 110 ° C
