Unless you're modding the cards to improve cooling, or voltage modding, I'm not seeing how you get significantly higher performance than what I measured (100 MH/s on 3090) while keeping GDDR6X temperatures below 100C, never mind 110C. I did some testing, playing with clocks, fan speeds, and power limits. Can easily hit 120 hashrate on 3090 without compromising temps.I'm gonna call bunk on this one. Can't mine on stock settings and expect to get the best results. Ive got some 3090 cards mining, and if your memory temps are anywhere near that high you are doing it wrong. Well, article writer might want do some research on that one.Īnd any miner worth their salt keeps temps MUCH lower than this.

Fixed VRM monitoring on ASRock Z490 Taichi and B550 Steel Legend.Added reporting of DIMM module location if BIOS provides correct data.Enhanced sensor monitoring on ASUS ROG STRIX B550-XE.Fixed a possible hang on some systems with Intel Thunderbolt controller.Improved support of some future AMD CPUs and APUs.And if you're mining, either decrease your power limit or hope that these 100-110C memory temperatures don't pose a problem. If you find your GDDR6X temperatures run super hot with HWInfo64, it's a good idea to keep your graphics card at stock settings. And again, Nvidia's cards don't appear to start throttling GPU clocks until the temperature hits 110C. Presumably it's the hottest part of any of the GDDR6X chips, measured internally. We also don't know exactly what "GDDR6X Memory Junction Temperature" means, as far as the other GDDR6X chips are concerned. We don't have precise answers as to why Nvidia is allowing the GDDR6X chips to hit these temperatures. 24/7 mining on the other hand with memory running at 100-110C seems like the sort of thing that could cause premature card failure.

For gaming, with the GDDR6X running at 100C or lower, that appears to be within tolerance from Nvidia's perspective. These high junction temperatures do give us some cause for concern, but it's not clear how they'll affect the cards long term.
