Gigabyte rx 9070 gaming OC vrm temperature details
Yesterday I purchased a Gigabyte RX 9070 gaming OC. The GPU and hotspot temperatures were acceptable, though the VRM temperature reached 88º during load and 55º when idle. I replaced the thermal pads from the original model with new ones. The VRM temperature fell to 80º, but the idle stayed around 55º. I understand these VRM readings are typical, but my previous Gigabyte RX 6800 xt gaming OC had much lower VRM temperatures (36º idle and 75º load). I looked up other RX 9000 series VRM temperatures and found similar situations. Is a high idle VRM temperature normal for RX 9000 cards?
