Astral 5090

There is always going to be a hottest spot on a piece of hardware, that's not indicative of overall temperatures or how much energy is being expelled.

Exactly. I thought this was a very informative video about hotspots, sensor placement and other stuff:

(Starts talking about it around 10:54)

It gets to the point of considering the heat when using specific instruction sets

Somewhat preferred the days they way underclocked everything for margin.

Great video.

It's very much a case of electronic satanic panic in this instance I feel. There's many reasons to be mad at Nvidia but the argument the OP is making absolutely is not one of them.

Having hot spot temps available is really, really nice if you know what you're dealing with and need to troubleshoot but this is absolutely not that.

This thread is going to be one to revisit in 10 years time for sure.

I think a new law needs to be passed that in order to own a 5090 your IQ needs to be above the hottest of hotspot temps, at a minimum!

Anyway, I'm pretty sure now that 'Mr Blakemore' is some kid just pretending to be a retarded boomer, but I look forward to seeing where this thread goes. "I won"....... just brilliant.

I demand a re-count!

So you're never going to bother with the heat gun you ordered?

I'm actually disappointed.

The reason Nvidia disabled hotspot temps showing for users is literally because of people like you. There is always going to be a hottest spot on a piece of hardware, that's not indicative of overall temperatures or how much energy is being expelled.

Buy an AC unit and be happy, if you can afford a 5090 that shouldn't be a problem for you. Unless you were a silly billy and bought a product outside of your means, because there's a niggling little light flashing in the back of my mind that this is buyers remorse.

no no no....your missing the point. The 50 series hides the hotspot for a reason. The 50 series runs hotter than declared in the software Thats it, nothing more, nothing about power, performance or operation. The card is running closer to a 100 deg rather than the visible displayed 75 degress. Its not complicated, you dont need to read into, it doesnt matter that air con is need as your over reading it. It just runs hotter than reported and melts my balls.....thats it

But all cards have hotspots. My 9070XT has a "core" reading (which represents the average) and a hotspot which is...the hottest point. There's normally a delta of around 20 degrees when under full load between my core and hotspot.

That 75 degrees on your core temp isn't a lie, its' the average across the whole core. The "hidden" temp is just a specific part of the die that is hotter.
