Does Resizable Bar increse Junction Temp?

Hi, i just enabled resizable bar in my bios and i also updatet to the new driver 23.2.1. Now my Junction temp is 6 degerees higher is that normal? I was at 75 now im at 81 degerees Junction. The normal Temp only changed 2 degerees from 60 to 62 degerees. Is this because of the new Driver or because resizable bar or because of both? Does someone noticed a increase in junction temp too?

According to this Reddit Thread about the same question it does seem to increase the Temperatures of the GPU Card since it is boosting its performance: https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/comments/mq3veq/smart_access_memory_overheating/

A couple of other Users, in the above thread, also mentioned it increased the GPU card's temperature when SAM was enabled.

Thank You! 

You can verified that Reddit Thread by asking AMD SUPPORT if SAM does indeed increase average GPU Card's temperatures from here: https://www.amd.com/en/support/contact-email-form
