Series rx 5700 navi has peaks of 110ºc and amd comments

These days the AMD RX 5700 series is receiving new designs with custom refrigerations and is a relief for many users. We had been around for a month with reference designs, which had peculiar temperature performances. Due to this, it was possible and common to reach peaks of 110ºC and 113ºC, reason why AMD has spoken.

The 110ºC peaks in the RX 5700 Series are in line with expectations.

According to AMD , these high temperatures are within expectations, which has amazed many users. The community is used to not exceeding 85ºC in its graphs, but the measurement method used by the Texan company is slightly different.

Here you can see a performance of the temperatures of the graph in the FurMark test:

RX 5700 Series temperature peaks

Instead of marking a hypothetical worst thermal point and constantly measuring it, they have decided to place several sensors along the board. This change was first mounted in the “Polaris” generation, then transferred to “Vega” and now we see it implemented in the RX 5700 Series .

In this way, until one of the sensors does not reach this 'hotspot' , the card will have free way to boost the frequencies and others. Thanks to this, the graphics can be more aggressive regarding its overall performance.

On the other hand, AMD also flaunts the increased granularity of clock frequencies.

This significantly improves the power management of the graph and allows it to be much more reactive to the situation.

The company has transitioned from a fixed DPM (Dynamic Power Management, in Spanish) to a much more phased model. This new system takes much more into account workload, temperatures and power to squeeze out every drop of performance.

According to AMD , the RX 5700 series has a much more refined model that has many more 'Vf states' between idle load and maximum theoretical load. The graphics are much more responsive to the situation and everything is paired with improved AVFS (Adaptive Voltage Frequency Scaling) .

What do you think of these rare temperatures? Would you prefer to have some more "in the norm" with the new custom designs? Share your ideas below.
