This is an outlier value, because most other RX 5700 XT models run at noticeably lower temperatures but still, this shows that a safe GPU temperature is a variable value depending on many different factors.įor most GPUs, a safe operating temperature is anything below 85 degrees Celsius. The RX 5700 XT reference design, on the other hand, can reach 92 degrees Celsius when under load. You can see this info if you have an RTX 3000 card and MSI Afterburner. For instance, while the RTX 3000 cards had a max GPU temperature of 93 degrees Celsius, cards will start to limit the boost frequency as soon as the GPU temp goes above 83 degrees Celsius. When it comes to the max GPU temperature before thermal throttling kicks in, this is another relative value. Some models won’t turn on the fans before the temperature reaches 60 degrees Celsius. As we already said, almost every modern card comes with zero fan feature while the card runs below 50 degrees Celsius. Your GPU’s idle temperatures should be higher so reaching 55-60 degrees while idle shouldn’t be worrying. The same works if you live in a region with a hot climate. Also, do note that if you have a well-ventilated case with lots of airflow, and an ambient temperature sitting at 20 degrees Celsius or lower, you should expect lower idle thermals. Some models can go up to 60 degrees Celsius before the fans kick in, so if you have one that’s a normal temperature. That means that idle temperatures up to about 50-55 degrees Celsius are normal. If you have a relatively new card (from 2016 or later), most of them come with fans that shut down while the card is idle. All GPUs have one and it’s the most popular one when talking about thermals. So, which sensors you should focus on, and what are the safe temperatures for the said sensor? As expected, the first focus point should be the GPU thermal sensors. Nvidia cards usually come with just the GPU one but recently, some models arrived with the hotspot sensors, and the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 models also come with memory thermistors. The GPU one, hotspot sensors (many thermal sensors outputting the hottest point in the chip), and the one installed on the memory chips.
Next, while the GPU core (or just GPU) temperature is usually the one data point we look at when looking at thermals, many graphics cards come with additional thermal sensors.įor instance, most modern AMD graphics cards come with three thermal sensors. Now, normal GPU temperature, safe GPU temperature, whatever you want to call it, differs depending on your graphics card model, its cooling solution, airflow inside your case and its volume, ambient temperature, as well as some other variables.
