Power Temperature on GPU (possibly VRM?) overheating (?)

[Logue]

Hi! I'm just a little concerned about my GPU's temperatures when it's at full load for more than 20-30min. My ambient temperature is high (it's summer here and we get up to 38ºC on a hot day). I have an Asus Strix RX580 8GB (ROG-STRIX-RX580-O8G-GAMING) and when at full load, the GPU itself is fine (max temp I've seen was in the 70ºC~75ºC range). However, the "Power Temperature" (monitoring with Asus own software - GPU Tweak) easily gets to 85ºC and even stays at a 100ºC on some days (ambient temps vary, etc.). So, is this normal? Should I be seeing a +- 20ºC difference between the GPU core temp and the GPU power temp? I have opened it up already and changed it's thermal paste and noticed there were some power components that were not covered by thermal pads. Should I worry? Or can these power components withstand 90-100ºC without a problem?

 

Thx very much!

GPU power temp should relate to the power delivery. Components there are rated at 120C mostly, so it's not that worrying. You can make the fan curve more aggressive if you are worried.
