110°C Hotspot Temps "Expected and Within Spec", AMD on RX 5700-Series Thermals

I see that this thread is full of armchair engineers.

People seem to have a really hard time understanding that the closer to the transistors you put a temperature sensor, the hotter it's going to be. If you could measure the temperature inside a transistor gate, I'm sure it would be even higher. This is why temperature limits for the junction is different than the limits for the edge.

If temperatures are within spec and it maintains them, who cares? It literally means that this is the range that AMD certifies their hardware good at. I'd be more concerned if it was regularly exceeding the spec.

That was memory temp, not even die...

So by having bug in my head by Steve from GN yt channel, about my xfx temps, I decided to do what he did, remove plastic parts that doesnt do anything,and I repasted my gpu/cpu.. After that I run 2h of stress test in furmark and my hotspot mem temp was 98c.. Other temps of gpu remained under 90c.. I dont know what I did manage to fck up, but again I have never have left furmark test so long.. I was planning to sell my gpu, but I dont have any real problems with it,except that heat bug in my head.

Stop running furmark/kombustor abusing hardware doesnt help you.

Run 3DMARk, Unigen Valley/Heaven and Games.

so how many ppl are still running 7970s/r9 2xx cards around here,which are 6-8 years old.

Up until recently I was rolling with the R9 270X, which was used by my roommate until I got it and now is being fully utilized in a Hackintosh. I don't know what you guys are doing to your cards or if I've just got really lucky or you unlucky, but I have yet to have an AMD card fail on me even with OC nearly every one I've had.

not about failing,I ditched my 7870GHz in 2014 cause it was too slow for 1080p.

Is this normal?

what ?
 
Just for giggles I'd thought I'd report my 980Ti is still being used daily by my Nephew along with the 980x at 4.3ghz system I built. He leaves it on pretty much 24/7. My 1080 Ti is still running perfect OC 2050 @ 1.043v on a Gen2 EVGA Hybrid cooler on my current X99 6850k running at 4.5ghz. Folks meatshielding poor quality by claiming 'nobody uses 'X' beyond a certain amount of time are dullards. I've audiophile grade gear I collected overseas in the 80's that is still in use daily and in pristine condition. My daily driver, Ranger 4x4 I bought new in '88. You guessed it, still drive it daily and still looks like new.
 
Thank God for mining booming againn, I sold my rx5700 for more money that I payed her, and bought rx6800..
