6800xt High junction temperature

So I have 2 Vid cards. wasn't planning on it, but because of RMA hell with MSI I ended up getting a second card. So I figured I might as well try getting a second card. I did and then a month later MSI finally came through.

But that is not why I am here.

 

My first card the AMD 6800xt seems to have a much higher junction temperature compared to current temperature.

The current seems to sit around 64-66 C while the junction seems to be around 84-86 C. A 20 degree difference.

Also this seems to be recent. It never had temps like this, it only ever had 10 degree differences, until I popped a couple of Noctua fans into my system.

I can't seem to figure it out why.it changed from 75 degree junction temp, to 85 degree.

 

While my MSI 6800xt seems to only have a 10 degree difference.

 

I ordered some new paste and thermal pads, but I don't see them making a 10 degree improvement.
I haven't updated my drivers since before they released FSR.

 

is running the card with a junction temp of 85 C, safe for long-term use?

That looks okay to me, there's usually a 20C delta between GPU and Junction temps. My GPU maxes out at 60+C with Junction at 86C max after a session of RE Village at 3840x1080, max in-game + RT enabled.

 

If this is idle temps, then sometime is seriously off...

Ok good to hear.

 

Right now I am mining with it. Only reason I brought it up was because last week the difference between the two was only 10 degrees. With the junction maxing at 75 C.

So I went ahead and stopping mining. Let the card bring its own temp down to idle temps (in the 60s).

 

Restarted the mining, and for some reason that helped.

Been running the card for a couple of hours now and it seems to be holding a junction temp of 70-71 C.

 

Not sure why, maybe it will slowly go up and I'll have to stop it again in the future. But for now I am happy.
