How do one deteran the Memory Mapping and VRAM Temperature Reading? #20
Comments
A4500 and A6000 have been tested. Try out those offsets and let us know 😺 |
I have the same question for the 3060. I added a device line that I assume is close. At least the card is recognized now. However, I must have the offset incorrect as I always get 127C, which I surely hope isn't correct! :) Here is the device table entry I added...
Here is the output for my test setup...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
127°C is definitely incorrect. I do not have access to an RTX 3060, sadly. Did you try the 0x0000EE50 offset which has been tested to work on some RTX 3070s? |
Thank you for the quick response. It was worth a shot, but unfortunately, the same 127C results. Is there something I can scan or run to determine the value? I would be more than willing to put some effort into this. I also want to add the T4(GDDR6) next if we can.

As I know there are only few RTX 3070 desktop have memory temperature sensors. Anything below (including RTX 3060 & 4060 desktop and mobile, including |
@weter11, that is a perfect point. So far, I have yet to find the address; it is highly possible it doesn't exist. I am fairly sure the cards aren't frying the VRAM, even during fine-tuning, but I want to do a copper shim mod and get some measurements before and after. I may be stuck with winging it! ;) |
Technically there are a lot of ways to measure temperature, from thermocouple connected to multimeter or Arduino up to some cheap USB temperature controller from China, I don't see here any problems, only apply some glue or scotch to thermocouple for stable measurements. Also is it really that huge overheating, because first problems start when Nvidia start to use GDDR6X, which need a lot more power than GDDR6 (1.5-2x) and users of some cards with a thick thermal pads (3mm and up) saw huge memory temperatures and slowdowns in games and tests (result of bad engineering or testing). |
I found a new info, that by standard every GDDR6 module should have temperature sensor to prevent self damage. In datasheets for Micron and Samsung modules they have such sensors. |
@weter11 again, several good points, and yes, truly sorry that we are sidetracking this issue; still, this conversation is on point for the project as a whole. I have contemplated a direct measure, as you mentioned. However, I don't feel that it genuinely tells me much about before and after, as it would clearly measure the benefit of the shim and its interface to the heatsink, but not necessarily the quality of the interface to the chip itself. I am still on the fence on this one. Based on research, I agree with a possible poor selection of GDDR6X, but I don't have the details on timing, sourcing, etc. I feel they were about the speed and the marketability that "faster" has. With the commodity nature of these cards and my unintended use of them outside of gaming, mine is just an opinion. As we know, Nvidia isn't ecstatic about us using the 30XX cards this way, and maybe the gaming(speed) benefits outweigh the increased overall power and heat. That being said, thanks for the heads-up on the T4s. I have not repasted/re-padded them yet. They are "refurbished" cards in a proper server(R740) at our cooled data center; I might have made an inappropriate assumption about "refurb." I did repaste and re-pad the 3060s from eBay. They were probably old mining cards and really needed the repaste work; everything had dried out. Since they are stuffed back to back in an HP Z840 and are not in the best deployment to stay cool, I am most concerned about them. I may have to pull one of them out and stuff it into a Windows desktop to see if the temps show. That would at least guarantee we could solve this with the right offset. |

my A6000 don't have the device 0x26B1 its 0x2230 |
Just add a table entry with 0x2230, same offset and give it a try. If successful, send PR with changes. Thank you. |
Hi. I have A5000 and 5000ADA' how would one get the offset?
