hello everyone my spec

asus z690 hero

cpu 13900k

2x16gb g skil 6400

asus strix rtx 4090 oc

when i install a month ago the gpu temp was ok on stock setings stock fan p bios 3dmark not pass 60c my room temps is the same 20c now my gpu temps in 3dmark time spy goes up to 65-66c my memory temp is 62c hot spot 85-88c i think is very high when i play cyberpunk on stock setings on 4K MAX seting the gpu temp is almost 68c and hot spot 90c does i have problem with my cooler? mybe is the vbios updae?
thanks for the help

Temperature gap of 20C between gpu die and hot spot isn't unusual. Hot spot also has a much higher thermal range than the die does - like 110C or more.

IF the vbios update has a higher power target than the previous one, then yes - more power = more heat = stronger cooling/fans running faster to hit the same temperature.
Maybe a little dust is involved too.

ASUS Heatsinks are not that great this generation.
the tuf runs really hot and the strix is below average.
my amp extreme runs at 500W load at around 68/75 (Core/Hotspot)

first of all thanks for the help

mybe is the vbios update that rise my temps in this link https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/249769/asus-rtx4090-24576-220817-1 is the old bios should i back to the old bios?

dont worry, perfect normal temps.

in this review https://www.techpowerup.com/review/asus-geforce-rtx-4090-strix-oc/ the card is much lower temp

silicon lottery
maybe your card need more power to work @ the same frequency

yes but a month a ago my temps was cooler mybe driver mybe vbios update?

 

[mx62]

yes but a month a ago my temps was cooler mybe driver mybe vbios update?

did you update de vbios?
why?
can you tell us what vbios did you use?

 

[tomer20vt]

i update my vbios because i see new update on asus website https://rog.asus.com/graphics-cards...trix-rtx4090-o24g-gaming-model/helpdesk_bios/

 

[P4-630]

What temps you had before flashing the VBIOS?

 

[tomer20vt]

time spy on stock bios and stock fans not pass 60-61c now it goes up to 65C

when i overclock the card with 100% fan my gpu temp in time spy is 69c and 90c hot spot

when i run cyberpunk 2077 4k max setings stock fans curve and stock clock the gpu temp is 68c and hot spot 88c

 

[Colddecked]

Your temps are perfectly fine.

Most reviews install cards in an optimal environment (open test bench with airflow in a cold room), you can't expect to have the exact same temps in your setup.

the power table for the new vbios could have some changes, but not to worry, has i said perfectly normal temps.

That's fine.

Then just leave it running at stock speeds... I mean you already have world's fastest consumer GPU....

What?! We need to crash the power grid.

I was going to ask what case, case fans, and CPU cooler you're using, but after reading through the posts and seeing you say your temps were initially fine before messing with things, including the VBIOS, I think the problem then becomes obvious.

There wasn't really a problem, OP just noticed higher temps with the GPU overclocked I understand, which is normal imo...

i flash old bios and still the same temps in this month i update my asus z690 hero bios i update my vbios gpu and driver update from nvidia

this is my case 3 140mm fan in front 2 fan up 120m and 140m exhaust fan

All I have to say is, if you OC to best stable results you can manage, you have to expect higher temps, especially the hotspot temp. That was something I didn't see since I skimmed through the posts, my bad. I used to be able to skim as fast as any pool cleaning boy without missing a beat, but age happened and my eyes got old. LOL

 

[tomer20vt]

today i run msi afterburner oc scan and durning the test my gpu temp was at 77c and hot spot 100c and gpu power 640w with 100% fan can this temp risky for the card?

 

[Nihillim]

It's looking like a mountain out of a molehill...

When you start seeing 85C+ on the gpu core and 95C+ on memory junction, regardless of the card's load, then you can panik.

I'm experiencing a similar issue with my TUF 4090. About 4-5 weeks ago when I bought the card, I was seeing a max GPU hotspot of 78c on FurMark Donut. I was able to reproduce this max temp consistently for that first week or so. Now (after 4 weeks or so), after various motherboard bios (dark hero bios version 4201 to 4304), win11, and driver updates my max hotspot has risen to 86c on FurMark Donut. I don't believe the issue is with the firmware or software changes unless we see similar rises of GPU temps over time with other 4090s. I believe this may be a thermal paste issue where it is losing a bit of its effectiveness over a month's time.

Are others witnessing this issue with their 4090s with the latest driver and win11 updates?

a lot of pepole say to me mybe the thermal paste is my problem but my card under warranty and my store say the temps is ok

Your temps are okay; why not just turn the fans up a bit? I have the same card. The fan noise is really not bad at all with the larger fans. My 3080 ti was far louder with fans at 50%.

Here are some basic temps running an hour or more of CP2007 at 3840x1600 with a semi-hot overclock (for this card, anyway). I had the fans at 65% for this "test" but keep them at 50% all the time if gaming and 0% if not.

...

That said, I believe I'll be doing a repaste/repad soon.

I have a 1000g tub of T-Global TG-PP10 putty that I need to use and will be replacing all of the thermal pads with the putty. It's worked wonders for an Area51-M R2 laptop so I'm curious to see if it makes any difference on the Strix card. I'll be keeping the stock Asus pads of course and I'd recommend you do the same if you decide to ever replace them (warranty/RMA, etc.).

Best of luck...
