5700XT memory Temp

Mining & Hardware GPU Mining
#1

It seems like no matter what the settings, my memory temperature doesn’t want to stay lower than 94C.

Is this something to be concerned about? If so, how can I reduce it?
GPU temp is hovering around 52C, GPU (Hot Spot) 61C, 49.5 MH/s, 111W

current settings are -cclock 1200 -mclock 1750 -cvddc 750

BIOS is stock.

I was getting a higher hashrate with other settings but the mem temp was around 98C.

Edit: this is an MSI Gaming X model if that makes any difference. I read something about MSI MECH editions having problems with thermal pads, not sure if mine has the same.

I have two 5600xt same problem. I was able to get them down to 80 and 74 by undervolting the memory and setting the fans to 50%.

do you remember the undervolt setting you used? I tried -mvddc 800 but it didn’t help.

I actually got the settings from here

EDIT: Thomas_Schell’s post. But i set the fan to a fixed 50% vs temperature of 65

Just to follow up with this in case anyone else searches for it:

I contacted my vendor who wrote back and said:
“No worries here, these memory modules get very hot, but it’s well within reference design.
If it wasn’t getting into the 90s, I would think something was wrong, haha.
You will only see thermal throttling on these if they exceed 110C. Keep an eye on them to target 98 +/- a few degrees based on ambient temperature.”

I’m now running this with PhoenixMiner_5.4C using -cclock 1300 -mclock 1800 -cvddc 725 -fanmin 35 and am getting around 54.9 MH/s at 57C GPU, Memory Temperature seems stable between 102-104C

Still seems awfully high to me but I guess I’ll just keep an eye on it.

Yeah amd made a comment about it also. Something about the new way they track temperatures. I just think running that hot reduces the life expectancy.

I have exactly the same issue with my msi 5700xt gaming x…im getting 94c when running nicehash or hiveos…are u able to fix it? Pls give me an update…thnx

not really, I fiddled a ton with the BIOS and the best I was able to get is a consistent 98-100C mem temp running at 55MH/s, pulling (supposedly) 115W. someone on a discord forum said it probably has hynix memory and there’s nothing that can be done to improve it significantly. If I reduce the hashrate and/or set the fan to an annoyingly loud speed it will drop the temp proportionately.
