Strange temperature

Hi guys i got some strange temperatures on my rx 6800 xt. 2 months ago i bought new case because i got problem with gpu temps, i repasted it but that didn t help so then it must be airflow and it was, temps went down from 81c edge gpu, 100 hot spot to 76 edge and 90 hotspot(my ambient temp is little higher maybe because its small room and its on top of house), and with custom fan curve it was between 67-71 edge and 80-85 hotspot. But now after 2 months i got some strange temps, 75 gpu edge and 77-79  hotspot with my fan curve, without it im hitting 90 on edge and 93 on hotspot. I repasted it 3 months ago so i dont belive that thermal paste is issue because its "new", i used kyronaut paste. Any ideas what can cause this? pc case what i have know is Lian Li Lancool 216. Thanks for any help and sorry for my english.

First the Maximum Operating Temperature (Hot Spot) for the 6000 series GPU card is 110c.  So at 93c you are still working under the Maximum Operating Temperature.

 

Room Ambient Temperature is a major factor concerning CPU and GPU temperatures. The hotter the room the hotter the average CPU and GPU temperatures will be since it is circulating warm or hot air from the room.

 

Also poor air circulation is a major factor also. If you remove your PC Side panel and the CPU or GPU Temperatures are slightly lower that would indicate poor air circulation inside your PC case.

 

Make sure all of your PC Case fans are working and running at maximum speed. If one fan is going bad that would affect your air circulation and cause both the CPU and GPU temps to rise.

 

Also make sure your PC Air Filters are clean and not clogged. That would also affect air circulation inside your PC.

 

Also make sure your GPU Card Heat sink is clean and not cluttered with dust and dirt. That would affect the heat transferring properties of your GPU card heat Sink.

 

Make sure the GPU card fan(s) is running at maximum speed when the hot spot goes above 70c - 80c.

 

Some reasons why your GPU card temperatures might have started running hotter than normal.

 

NOTE: When you replaced your GPU Card thermal paste on the GPU chip did you also make sure the GPU's Thermal Pads were still in good shape and not damaged after you removed the GPU Heat sink?

 

I believe most GPU cards use both Thermal Pads and Thermal Paste at the same time.

Thanks for reply. I know that 6000 series cards have 110  hotspot limit but on edge is on 90c and thats quiet hot.(i know the limit but i dont think that is good for longtime use, as i know lower temps = longer life).

Room ambient is just little higher , even when i open window   in night when out is now like 5 c it doesn t matter because it didn t change the temp of gpu. As i said, before i had normal temps with higher ambient temp.

Airflow isn t a case here i think because the case is really good (thats why i bought it) i got radiator on top with 3 120mm fans, on front 2 180 mm fans, 1 140mm on rear and last under gpu 140mm. Every fan is working and i cleaned dust from there. Gpu is clean too.

Im using Sapphire Nitro+ model that have separated heatsink for pads and i didn t remove that.

If u didn t understand my question is: why i have so small difference between GPU Temperature and GPU Hotspot Temperature. Tomorrow i will again repaste it maybe that help

 

Sorry for my english
