    The Gigabyte RX 5700 XT Gaming OC ended up performing well for memory thermals, so in this disassembly, we'll look at why. Most of it is because of the direct airflow over the memory plate (as afforded by the fans that are relatively unobstructed between the memory plate and fans).

    To anyone who is thinking of the thermal pad sizes, I'm just doing this now on my Rx5700XT Gaming OC 8GB (Rev 1). VRM (MOSFET and Inductors) = 1.5mm, Memory = 0.5mm and backplate is 3mm. I measured everything myself. If you go lower/higher on any of them, your thermals will go through the roof! Anything lower won't touch the heatsink or/and backplate. Anything higher, will make the GPU die not contact the heatsink well. Hope this helps someone. As these GELID pads are bloody expensive.

    I recently replaced the existing thermal paste in my MSI 5700XT MECH OC with Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut. There was a significant thermal improvement. Without any overclock, the Junction Temp at idle dropped from 33 to 26. The Current Temperature (using the terminology found in the Radeon Software) dropped from 28 to 26. The fact that the two are now the same is very telling. More importantly, prior to the change, I had a couple of games that routinely drove the Junction Temp to 112 (again, that is without any OC). Maybe not dangerous, but too high for my comfort. After adding the liquid metal the junction temp never goes over 80. My plan was to later add an AOI cooler to the GPU, but with the results I got from the change in thermal paste I have decided not to waste the money.

    With the launch of Starfield, I recently re did the thermal paste on this card. Used the noctua ceramic paste. I should have replaced the thermal pads, but didn't know the exact thickness. So I ended up reusing the existing thermal pads. But the results were amazing. Old paste looked decent enough, but I did notice some tiny gaps near the center of the chip. But what a world of difference, hot spot was hitting over 105 at points, with gpu temp in the high 70s low eighties. After : hot spot highesy temp 89, avg GPU temp is 68. Fantastic. If you have this old, but decent card, and you are having high/fluctuating temps, I would recommend repasting if you have the ability to do so. It's like I have a new card!

    There are quite a few comments asking for thermal pad thickness. I have this exact card model and have replaced almost all of the pads and repasted with NTH-2, so for what it's worth, here is what I've found: (all are thermal grizzly minus pad 8):
    1mm on the 3 memory banks surrounding the GPU die.
    1.5mm on the MOSFETS.
    2mm on the inductors.
    Backplate thermal pads - my best guess is 3mm. I can only guess though because I have not replaced or even taken the backplate off. Just by eyeballing, they look like 2mm wouldn't be enough. I have some 3mm pad and by the look of things, it would bridge the gap, but 2mm wouldn't. I held the 3mm I had up to the card, but I couldn't place them side by side to visually compare or run my finger over the edges to compare if there was a lip I could feel or not.

    Thank you for the awesome video Steve. Graphics cards are the core of our company (drafting) and I hope other viewers see why purchasing the right card the first time does makes a big difference. Buying a $300 dollar Evoke just to realize the thermal pads are skimped on makes us think of how they likely skimped on discrete and surface-mount components. Is it "good enough"? ...possibly - But if the Evoke card (or any card) fails due to thermal (incompetence), we wouldn't want to waste hard-earned cash on the same card again - so if we had bought the $500 Gigabyte board the first time, we wouldn't have had to spend $800 (total) just to have a functioning system - even more-so when you have to buy graphics cards in bulk like we do. This concept works with most electronics in the industry. It shows that one does "get what they pay for" by doing a little research first. :)

    The biggest difference you can make for better temps is taking the card off default fan settings, your fans stay low rpm even when memory /junction is at 104. Changing your fan settings will save you 5 degrees on core and 10-15 on memory/jucntion temp. Turning default fan setting off and doing custom fan setting is what will save most of you. You can do that with amd adrenalin or with msi afterburner.

At stock I am hitting 84C core and 105C hot spot playing control in a well ventilated Air 540 case, the fans are at 46% with default curve in a 21C room. Idle temps, even if I manually change the curve so it is 30% fan at the lowest setting, idles at 45-46C. I ended up reseating the cooler with fresh paste, but temps stayed the same. I have to set the fans to at least 60% to have decent temps (75C core 95C hot spot) at stock clocks but it starts to get noisy at those speeds.

      Exactly what I was thinking when I watched the video too. When watching the actual card review it was puzzling why this card had such good edge temperatures but relatively higher junction temperatures.
      But after seeing the heatpipes with the big grooves between them it makes perfect sense.
      Prior to the 5700 series and the new junction temperature there was never a way to measure this before. Now it looks likes direct touch heatpipes do have a downside in terms of hotspots on the GPU die.

    My gigabyte 5700xt hits 110c on the junction temp at 1130v and stays around 100c at 1050v with lower clocks, i literally removed the card from it's place with a riser cable to check temps without other components close to it and they remain the same, i just removed the backplate and unlike yours mine has/had a square thermal pad for the chip. Gonna try now to see how the temps go without the backplate. Could this have been a reason?

  • @BeastofBourdon
    @BeastofBourdon Рік тому

    I don't suppose you could make a video regarding the hotspot issue after repasting? I purchased a used card on ebay and it has a hotspot/junction temp 30+ degrees higher than edge temps. I tried repasting and I can't seem to correct it. Even tried using better thermal paste and swapped the cheap pads the seller used with some that were the proper sizes and the problem still persists. The card works otherwise and will even play games at those ridiculously high junction temps of 110+ but eventually it will power down the system for thermal protection. So I don't think the die is bad and the cooler appears to be fine. Any ideas?

    On the argument of flip-chips and cooling, i think a lot of people are leaving out that there's an entire pcb that the heat would have to pass through before reaching the pads. If is actually mattered, there would be vias specifically for heat dissipation, and considering nobody is designing cards like this, the thermal difference clearly doesn't matter enough for that design consideration. Basically the chips are designed to hot-box themselves with the pcb.
