RX 6800 High idle temperatures

Hello everyone.

 

I have a XFX RX 6800 reference design, and i am noticing that it is presenting high idle temperatures at around 55 to 60 degrees celcius. When i play a game it rises to 75 - 80 degrees, that seems normal according to some reviews, but the idle temperature seems to be high. Anyone with the same problem ?

 

Best regards.

While those temperatures aren't dangerous for the GPU, they are a bit high. Some cards will idle at a higher temperature to minimize fan noise.

 

Download MSI Afterburner and modify your fan curve (Settings > Fan > Enable user defined software automatic fan control) so that the fans run at a higher speed, which could decrease your idle temperature.

It's normal, at idle cards tend to prefer not running the fans for silence rather than unnecessarily cooling more.

I have a phanteks p350x with 2 front intakes and 1 exaust at the top and 1 rear exaust.

Are the fans on the card running?

Very often with the last few generations of cards they will shut off the fans if the card is under 60c.

 

You should be able to change this if you want with programs like MSI Afterburner, Radeon Pro, and such.

Welcome to AMD video cards.  If the card isn't in zero clock speed mode (usually like 50 mhz or something), they tend to run warm on idle because the fans either don't spin or barely spin.
