AMD and AIB ignore those on purpose, cause is cheaper and cause sooner rather than later that will be a money factory, they are not idiots I never said that, hotter cards will degrade faster or have VRAM failure, they will make you to upgrade faster = more money for them.
Yesss, let's make the cards fail, so that people will
RMA them... upgrade sooner. Really?
YT reviewers, GN as well :
Sapphire Pulse Review @ 19:40 "memory temperature is a problem, is running at 90 C with no reason at all and that's beyond Sapphire cooling" @1800RPM, me and others on TPU.
One single Youtuber said so based on one single review, even though he stated that GPU temperatures are a common feature of the generation.
Since memory temperature is also a common feature of the generation, then maybe... just maybe... everything's fine? I know you're finding it very hard to imagine, but maybe AMD and every single AIB didn't design their cards to fail prematurely?
Edit: If cards fail prematurely, that will paint a bad image of the brand, and people will switch to the competition instead of "upgrading sooner".
9000 running on SK Hynix, different thermal resistance and other specs on the chips. Sometimes with those leaving in denial you have go around in circles till their bubble around them burst or dissolve, hopefully reality will be clear.
OK, then find me the specs on SK Hynix GDDR6 chips, and we'll talk.
Is general knowledge, will do get hotter : dust, dry pads, fan vibrations due to dust and rotor wearing by heat, oscillating voltages in VRM etc

Yes, assumption about the future cause that is happening with each GPU is normal wearing which is resulting in hotter cards.
Maybe that's why we have the sensor data? So that we can change pads when needed? Instead of, you know, pointlessly arguing on a forum.
Besides, my 6750 XT had a GPU hotspot of 105 ˚C when I bought it 3 years ago, and still has a GPU hotspot of 105 ˚C up to this day. And it's running fine. Magic!
I already answered to that and to you in another thread, but you chose to ignore it. On short, is cheaper for them now and more expensive for you later.
So every single AIB went for "cheap" solutions on every single one of their cards, be it 2, 3 or 4 slot wide and equipped with 5, 6, 7 or even 8 heatpipes. I wonder what can be so "cheap" that makes VRAM run hot under every single cooler design in existence.
Sorry, no, you don't understand, removing hotspot sensors will make user blind when is the time to change TIC.
A GPU running hot with dry thermal paste will inflict heat by proximity to VRAM but also to VRM(specially on high condensed PCB) which doesn't have sensors so you even more blind to degradation.
I never said I agree with Nvidia's decision - I don't. But I see the reasoning behind it. They didn't want people screaming that it runs hot when in fact, it is well within specs.
Who are those "to many idiots"? you accused me several times of "false assumptions" so... Thanks. Or maybe you enjoy the trolling too much that you have to accuse others of trolling in order to draw attention away from you.
Ah, the
"you accuse me of trolling, so you're the troll" argument. Typical of people trying to look clever without saying anything of value.
Let's leave it at that. Please.

After 2 years, they're safe. You're not. Outside the EU, you might even just get 1 year of assurance. After that? Good luck getting a repair deal that doesn't cost you the price of a new GPU. I'll be honest, given the absolutely immense clusterfuck of products lately, no I do NOT have blind trust in AIBs knowing whatever the fck they're doing, nor AMD. Much more likely: they're in a squeeze to get X performance out of Y die space and with memory modules of type Z, and something's gotta give, and the VRAM temp is where that giving went. Its not much unlike Zen parts suddenly knocking the edge of acceptable temps with a 95C baseline. Is it in spec? Sure. Do I like it? Hell no.
Hot parts simply die faster. They just don't die fast enough to claim warranty. Fingers crossed you're lucky enough to not have to deal with this.
I haven't seen news of Zen chips failing due to high temps. They've been out long enough for some of them to be out of warranty.
I'm not saying that everything is fine. I'm saying that we don't have data, and as such, arguing about things we don't know is pointless.
