The Radeon RX 6800 (XT) Owners Thread.

Raz said:
So, I managed to get a new job and had the opportunity to buy a MSI 6800 xt gaming x trio to replace a 6700xt.

Runs fine but I'm hoping to tweak it to reduce temps through undervolting. Already hit a snag though - can't control the fan speed! Any manual curve I set doesn't make much of a difference. At 45c GPU temp the fan hits up to 70%, and it hovers around 55% at 40c, which is quite loud. Am I missing something?

I'm using the Radeon software by the way.

Sounds high to me because the MSI RTX 3080's fans gets to 70-75% at full load.

Do you have coil whine?
What are your T Junctions Temps?
what are your full load temps?

No coil whine. I think around 80c, but main GPU temp hasn't gone above 60c but fans can ramp up to 70% before that.

Having bit of a tinker with it now.
 
I've got the Gaming X Trio. Just had a fairly long Cyberpunk session at 4k where GPU temp reached around 70C, junction was 102 and fans went up to around 2000rpm (I don't know what that is as a %age). The fans aren't annoying for me and don't seem to ramp up as quickly as yours - as soon as I exited the game, the temp dropped to 52C and the fans stopped altogether.

Was your fan on 0% then started spinning up?
What was the average T Junction temp?As that sounds high for AMD?
 
Yea the fans don't spin up until it gets to about 60 I think.

Not sure about the average temp but my case cooling isn't the best so that might be a factor. I'll have another session tomorrow and do some logging.
 
Quick update on my high hot spot temps with my water cooled reference card with EKWB.... I tested an under volt and whilst it helped it was still getting toasty up to 90c hot spot once the water had equalised.

So I dissembled the block re-pasted the GPU with some Arctic Silver 5, tightened the screws starting at the main 4 GPU screws first then working outwards. Hot spot temps are now 60-65c after about 3hrs gaming.

Set to the Automatic/Default Preset which clocks the card boosts up to 2.4Ghz so very happy with that. :)

Seems like these cards are put together badly?
 
I did exactly the same. I thought the 3070 was great but don't regret changing to the 6800xt.

I had a driver problem initially but complete driver removal and re-install cured it.

Noice :) I’ve never had one of the best cards at this current time, so looking forward to it :)

what model have you got, I’ve managed to bag an msi one

No. the reference card is very well put together the stock heat sink is a beast and does an excellent job as is, its a very nice bit of kit.

My particular issue was just a thermal paste/EKWB issue. Under water the hotspot should not really go above 70c ish. Seems as if the block wasn't sitting evenly across the GPU die after about 6 months use. I hope this re-fit will be fine for the next year or until a coolant flush and clean which I do every year anyway. :)
