Sapphire 5700XT Pulse Memory Temps

[kuraai]

I'm having an issue with memory temps on my Sapphire 5700XT Pulse. I don't know what's left to try.

My memory temps are getting up to 92-98c after gaming for a while, this can be after 15-30mins. I can reproduce this easily after running about 3-4  short furmark tests.

My normal GPU temp and almost always even junction temps are lower than my memory temps. For example after 3-4 furmarks, Memory got up to 94c, junction/hot spot to 88c and GPU to 68c.

 

I've tried undervolting, by using adrenalin auto undervolt, have tried it manually as well. Tried DDU a few times as well. I've also tried switching to the silent bios, but this doesn't change much or anything as far as I can see, regarding temperatures.

My card is in a Fractal Design Node 202 ITX case, paired with a Ryzen 5 3600. All other temps are fine, cpu is usually pretty low under 70c. There are two 120x15mm Noctua fans right next to the GPU, a few weeks ago they were intake, as this was recommended online, however I noticed high gpu temps. I turned them to exhaust and temps improved alot, however at the time I didn't really checkout memory temps. I now turned one fan back to intake, but memory temps seem similar.

 

I'm wondering why the difference between GPU memory temp and GPU temp is so big. Did I just have bad luck and should I RMA it, or are there ways to fix this?

 

Any suggestions are welcome.

so whats your issue exactly, do you have errors in the picture or anything that indicates a problem with the memory or does everything slow down once its hot?

Well, I have had a few crashes, also got some artifacting in Battlefront 2 today, not sure if those are caused by the memory though, considering that there have been lots of driver issues with the 5700xt. But yesterday at one point while gaming memory temps reached 98-100c. And from what I've read 95c should be max safe temps.  So the issue seems to be temps getting too high. Review on gamersnexus showed this model memory max out at 80-82c for default bios and 90-92c for silentbios.

you have a bad airflow. I have the strix 5700 XT with very bad pressure so it runs the hottest of all the 5700 xt's. Try ramping up the fans, lowering graphichs or fps limit.

 

What is your case and what fans you have on. You should atleast have 2 intake and 1 outtake. But i have 3 intake and 1 outtake and i still have bad airflow

I mentioned it's a Fractal Design Node 202. The case actually officially only supports up to 2, 120mm case fans. At least without any custom 'hacks'. I have tried intake and exhaust. But I'm gonna try a different case, see how it performs.

Does the GPU VRAM temperature change much if you say...manually set the GPU fans to fixed 50%? 60%? 75%? 100%? 

I too am suspecting poor case airflow, but can't rule out anything out just yet...
